Guest JJ Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I enjoy mshearts and sol (solitaire) but would like to make the cards amd/or the entire presentation larger and easier to see. There is no adjustment under the 'options' pull down. Anywhere else I can go? Thanks -- jj

Under Screen Resolution, slide the bar to the left and click Apply. Change it back when you're done. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address.

I tried it with the XP versions and the option wasn't available since "it is part of Windows XP". It did work with the Cosmi version of Hearts though.. wasn't necessary with that program, of course. -- Joe =o)
Guest Richard in AZ Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Re: mshearts and sol Obviously "sgopus" has not tried his/her suggestions before responding. MSHearts can not be resized by any means. Solitaire can be made full screen, but that does not really change the size of the cards.
