Win2000 Solitaire on XP?


Recommended Posts

I do not like the Solitaire game in XP. Specifically I don't like how

it looks and feels.

 

I prefer the Win2000 game.

 

Is there any way to get that old version onto my XP machine? I still

have my old Win2000 install disk...

 

This is mission critical!

 

Thanks

If it's that important to you... why don't you setup a dual-boot

situation?

You can expand SOL.CH_, SOL.EX_, and SOL.HL_ from the I386 folder on the

Win2k install CD to SOL.CHM, SOL.EXE, and SOL.HLP in a folder of your

choosing, and run SOL.EXE from there.

 

When I do this, it looks and acts almost exactly like the SOL that comes

with WinXP (except for the little box of cards icon at the top left), but I

use the "Classic" view for everything, so almost everything looks like it

did in Win2k.
