Solitaire win and speed of cards

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

I usually play solitaire when waiting for something(for example, completing
the boot startups), and when I win, I somehow enjoy waiting until all the
cards bounce and seeing if the window is totally filled up. It used to be
fairly fast in older Windows releases, until XP when the speed was regulated
to be fairly slow. I had been using a web accelerator called Proxyconn, that
somehow affected the bounce speed to be much faster.

I have since become a cable internet customer, and miss the quick results of
the win-bouncing. Does anyone know how to make the bouncing run faster??

Sure. If you open Task Manager while you're playing the game, you can right-
click the game's process and set it's priority to a higher setting. 🙂

Move the mouse around. That'll make the cards bounce faster.

Cheers.

If you just want to get past the bouncing cards, then just click on the card
table and you'll be asked if you want to play again.

There is a bug in my XP version of this Solitaire game too.
Sometimes if you click both left,right mouse buttons at the same time on a column of cards repeatedly, it will move a card to the ace pile, but face down. Don't know if this is a hidden feature to cheat a bit.. only works for a few cards.
Sometimes I click a King column and then it seems to work with a column with unturned cards.
