Guest goldtech Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 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

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.
