That's me (left) fiddling with Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), 1978.
Bruce's Weird XP Tips and Workarounds
(Placed here to see if the search engines find it. They will!)
| Getting Golf.exe and Cruel.exe to work on Windows XP: | They don't work on XP or VISTA because they look for CARDS.DLL, and
expect a 16-bit version. Microsoft, in its usual infinitely unthinking arrogance, replaced
this with a 32-bit version for XP, re-compiling Freecell and Solitaire in the process, but
ignoring owners of the older games. They COULD have named it "CARDS32.DLL" and
made everybody happy. The solution is to copy your old "CARDS.DLL" to the folder that Golf.exe and Cruel.exe are in. As you don't want to overwrite the new CARDS.DLL, just make sure you move the old games somewhere else other than the Windows directory, like "C:\Program Files\Games" for example. The old card games are simple enough that they don't care what directory they're in, and there's no fancy registering, etc. The games will look in their own directory for CARDS.DLL before looking in C:\Windows\System, and everything will work fine. |
