Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>games (more info?)

In the last couple of days when I open Spider Solitaire it will only come up
full screen. Because I can't do just one thing at a time this is very
distressing to me. If I click on the square next to the X on the bar at the
top of the screen it completely minimizes the game. When I click on "restore"
in the start bar nothing happens, when I click on "Maximize" it opens full
screen again. None of my other programs are doing this so I am assuming it is
just Spider. How do I fix this problem? Did I do something to cause this?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark Kruger,

Sounds like the game has to be resized as follows:

> Click on Restore
> Drag the window down from it's title bar
> Move the mouse pointer to one of the top corners until it looks like this: <==>
> Drag the corner towards the center of the window to resize it

Hi dawn,

Let's try something different.. Place your mouse pointer over
the Title Bar where it says "Spider Solitaire" and double click.

That should restore your window size.

Hi,

I began having this problem a few days ago, and I have tried everything you
suggested in this thread, to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Diane

I, too, am experiencing this problem; however, I know what I did to cause
mine. While installing a new trackball mouse, I accidentally resized my
Spider Solitaire window down to nothing. When I click "restore", I get
nothing. When I click "size" my cursor goes to the 4-way arrow, but because
it cannot find (and I cannot see) the minimized/resized window, it never
changes to the 2-way arrow where I can resize again.

Any ideas about this problem? Is there someplace to go to manually set the
window size, like you can resize a picture embedded inside a document by
right-clicking?

Thanks, Georgina
