Wherre is Solitaire?
I am evaluating Vista Business Edition prior to purchasing Home Premium but I cannot find Solitaire. I am addicted to this game and must have it and in the traditional format as on XP. Where do I find it in Vista please? If it is not bundled with Vista can I import a copy from XP?
Gonna boot up my XP machine now I need my Solitaire fix

The advice seems to be:
Go to Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features
Click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
Check "Games" item.

Thank you Platypus got it but I wish they would stop tinkering with these classic games. I find the Vista colours and designs very difficult with heavy prisms in my glasses and miss my favourite card backs and much prefer the clean strong graphics of the old version and do not enjoy the game as much in Vista so I guess I will use XP for games and one or two other things Vista has messed up.
Think I know a workaround to get the XP version working in Vista. I did this with the screensaver Mystify, hate the Vista version but the XP/classic version would not work kept coming up as the Vista version so I renamed it and put it on the desktop. I will try the same with a copy of Solitaire from XP. Now ehen I want to watch Mystify as I know it I just click the desktop Icon.

I haven't tried it myself to make sure, but I've read that the familiar XP games will transfer to Vista.

Lets remember you installed Vista "BUSINESS"
Games and buisness no matter what they are, are a no no so
likely by default games is turned off under business.
A good choice to save people having to turn them off.

Try minesweeper in Vista. You can play the same grid over and over until you've memorised the mine locations. The office still haven't worked out my 4 second time yet
I'll get my coat.
There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
your hand or head stuck in something
