Windows Vista Help Files
------------------------
Windows Vista is the new version of Microsoft Windows. If you are buying
a new computer now, it is likely that it comes with Windows Vista.
All of our games will run on Windows Vista. Many of our games have also
been updated specifically to run better on Vista:
Pretty Good Solitaire v11.0.1
download from http://www.goodsol.com/download.html
Pretty Good MahJongg v2.32
download from http://www.goodmj.com/download.html
Action Solitaire v1.12
download from http://www.actionsol.com/download.html
Most Popular Solitaire v1.12
download from http://www.moposol.com/download.html
The previous versions of these games, plus all of our other games will also
work in Vista. However, because of a change Microsoft made the help files
for previous versions will not work unless you download the WinHelp file
viewer from Microsoft. To view .hlp files on your Windows Vista computer,
you'll need to download the WinHelp viewer from Microsoft at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6ebcfad9-d3f5-4365-8070-334cd175d4bb&displaylang=en
Note that you only need to download this if you are running Windows Vista
and you are trying to use an older version of one of our games or one of
the games that has not yet been updated for Vista. The latest versions of
the games above do not need this download, nor do you need it for
running the games in Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows. This is
only needed for Windows Vista to read .hlp style help files.
Beta Testers Needed
-------------------
We have a bunch of new versions and even some new games in
development. We need a small number of beta testers to help test them.
First will be a new version of Action Solitaire, then there will be a couple of
new games that will need testing. Finally, later in summer there will a new
version of Pretty Good Solitaire.
We need testers running Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and
Mac OS X. If you would like to be a tester, email me at
[email protected]. Be sure to give your name and what version of
Windows or Mac OS you have.
