Microsoft Solitaire Collection

<< < (2/4) > >>

William Cook:
Thanks for the updates.
Had tried most.
MajorGeeks has a win7 group of games, which work fine.

Tweaking Com is great after you test stuff and "things go where ever"  :smiley:

I was surprised the repair install didn't do it but it has been passed onto Shane.

I'll leave mine as it is should Shane come up with something to try.

Boggin:
I found an article which showed how to reset and/or reinstall the Solitaire Collection but neither worked.

I've passed this on.

I didn't include the Apps or Store repairs in what I ran so they can be eliminated as the cause.

Boggin:
Update - this may also work for you.

I uninstalled 4.0.10 with the intention of installing 4.0.9 but all download links were for 4.0.10 but I still reinstalled using the link for 4.0.9

I left out the repairs for Network, CD/DVD, Snipping Tool, Windows 8/10 App Store, Windows 8/10 Component Store and Recycle Bin.

I tried Solitaire after the reboot and it started as if for the first time.

I'm not sure if this had been aided by the previous reinstall, although that didn't seem to have any effect as it still wouldn't load after doing that.

I followed the steps in this tutorial for that which you could do first as a belt 'n braces but when I went to the store, I didn't have to create a MS account or do anything that the article says to prevent a local user account from becoming a MS account.

I've passed this on for Shane.

Hope this helps.

Boggin:
I restored with the system image I'd created prior to running 4.0.10 the first time to confirm if uninstalling and using a different download link was the solution.

To cut a long story short - it wasn't.

I restored with a later image, confirmed that Solitaire worked, ran WR which took out Solitaire, used the steps in that linked article to uninstall and reinstall the solitaire package and then ran WR again.

Unfortunately, Solitaire still isn't loading.

I'm not sure what went right for it to have fixed before but when it did load, it struggled a bit but got there.

It's now down to Shane to come up with a fix.
