Spider Solitaire - XP Version Works

[jimbo45]

Hi all
Fairly trivial post but I know people still like playing these Windows games.

This isn't really "Gaming" as it's just a post about those little card games included with Windows.

I quite like Spider Solitaire but I HATED the card designs in the VISTA and W7 versions.

Howver the OLD XP version (with the much nicer typical Card deck pictures) works fine.

Just copy spider.exe from your XP system (it's in Windows==>system32) to any old directory and you can run it from there -- no extra DLL's needed.

Here's the difference between the Old and New

(image enc) Top one is OLD deck (from XP) bottom is the W7 version

BTW It's quite addictive if you've got some minutes to spare or are getting bored at work waiting for a process to finish etc etc.

Cheers
jimbo

Jimbo -

The Win 7 solitaire games (spider and regular) give you the option to use the classic deck.



My eyes are old and tired but to me the classic deck in 7 looks the same as XP.
But then again a lot of things look the same to me after (d)

That's why I failed to notice the original post was back in 2009.

Hoh wow.

Regarding this category, also, to whoever remebers SkiFree from 95, it works perfectly in a window. But that's the way it was too. Y'know, it's that game where you ski down a nasty slope with many jumps. Then Bigfoot will get you. The author has it available at his site.

And now, my request, where is Windows XP 3D Pinball ? Will it perform on Windows 7 ? Such a magnificent looking and playing game.

EDIT: I did find it and it plays just swell. But there is one small problem. And I even remember this on XP. I check in Music, but it won't play. So then I'm forced to go to the folder and play PINBALL.MID

 

[SlasherIT]

SkiFree... Yes, I played that on Windows 2000... That was a hard game for me lol. Pinball works fine in Windows 7, just have to get it off the internet.

 

[mistamontiel]

Sucks it won't play the .mid, then again I don't recall it doing that when I was on XP

Don't use the down load link - like a fool, I did and now some garbage called ARCCOSINE has made itself my default search engine in both IE9 and Firefox. And I cannot find a way of getting rid of it and do not know if it is safe.


I am have been badly let down by this site.

Have you tried contacting them?

Have you tried contacting them?

I haven't tried contacting them as I assume they are just spammers. If they are a genuine organisation they are acting in an extremely dishonest and reprehensible fashion by changing settings on my computer without my permission.

They do not appear to have a website, but their screen gives me the option to contact them. How do I not know that this will not lead to further infection??? That is what normally happens when you click spanners links.
