I'm a pretty new user to this forum, and i joined mainly for one reason. I need an answer, why does Vista ruin so many great games. After playing several games, some old some new, I can only notice one consistent theme..issues with my games. While some issues may be attributed to games themselves, i am however finding a very aggravating connection between my new laptop and vista and a huge jump...

Any time Mahjongg Titan sees a saved game, it offers to resume play. The problem is that the program forgets to delete the saved game (or even update it). So every time you start the program until you save a new game by exiting the program, it wants you to replay that game. After a while, you start remembering the game and don't want to play it. But you can't just start a new game as that...

According to my statistics, I have spent between 3,151 seconds (ie 52 minutes 31 seconds) and 9,932 seconds (2 hours 45 minutes 32 seconds) on my highest scoring games. Since I have never spent longer than about 30 minutes on any game, where do these bizarre timings come from? Is there a bug in my system, or do other people get these weird results? -- IainADMcIntyre

I am encountering a graphics glitch in all card games (Free Cell, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire) where the card the cursor is over will highlight, and the card usually to the left of the cursor will have a blinking highlight around it. It's similar to what happens when you request a hint, but constant instead of momentary. I also have problems with the drop down menus going spastic...

I know there are some old threads about this game on vista, but I've read them and my problem is different.

Expression: 'Localization/strings_AA.tgi', File:...

Prior to OS Vista, there was a very popular backgammon game that had been a standard on, seemingly, all prior Windows OS. It is not present on Vista and I will be happy to do whatever is reasonably needed in order to get this same backgammon game on my Vista system. Thanks for helping me with this, 1Robert1

I know this is like the 8th post that has this topic, but none of the fixes worked for me! I am STILL trying to get it to work! After running it in compatibility mode for Everything XP and below, i tried turning off the Desktop Comp, and the other option, but to no avail. I get little slivers of color in the middle of the screen in game, almost like there is constant Fog of War. i have Vista Home...
