Vista Games

Hi!

Its pretty simple:
1) In your WinXP, go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy "mshearts.exe" and
"cards.dll". You'll need a floppy or pendrive or something to copy from XP to
Vista ofcourse.
2) Just paste those files in Vista in the same folder C:\Windows\System32
and you're ready to start!
3) I dont think this program'll be recognised (it didn't for me) by the
"Games Explorer" in Vista so you have to create seperate shortcuts for that

Please note!!: In my version of Vista, I had removed the games from it so I
dont know if there'll be another "cards.dll" file somewhere in the same
folder. To be safe, copy both to some other folder like "C:\Windows\System" -
this way i'm pretty sure that both the new hearts and the old one will lead a
peaceful co-existence!

No its not included but dont lose heart! There's a way around it. In fact its
SO simple you'll probably wonder why you didn't think of it.

1) You need pendrive or floppy or LAN or watever
2) You need XP

Wat to do?
1) Go to "C:\Program Files\Windows NT" in your WinXP.
2) There'll be a folder called "Pinball". Copy it to your pendrive or
watever you're gonna use
3) Paste the folder "Pinball" in "C:\Program Files\Windows NT" in Windows
Vista

This game wont be recognised by "Games Explorer" so you'll have to manually
create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Pinball\Pinball.exe"

Thats it! Ready to use!

Enjoy your game!
