In my Win7 system, the Games folder is in C:\Users\myname\AppData ... folder.

Copying the Microsoft Games folder from your User Profile by itself just copies the user preferences over and not the required files for the game to run.

Your suggestion has merit but its not thorough enough. Nickname: Terminator

Unfortunately, the method described on the linked website doesn't work for Windows 7 (Mine is 64bit, if that makes any difference).

First thing I tried was to run Vista Freecell on a memory stick plugged into W7. As I said, I was able to do this with XP's Freecell, and I was curious to see if it would work. It didn't. Perhaps there's some sort of clash with W7's Freecell, which I'd previously enabled with the Search\OptionalFeatures tweak. Also, cards.dll already existed in W7's system32 folder.

Then I tried copying Vista's Microsoft Games folder to W7's C\Progs\x86 and modifying the hex values as detailed on the webpage, but all that happened when I tried to run Vista Freecell was that W7's Freecell opened.

So, dunno what's occurring. It's no BFD - I quite liked the style of Vista's Freecell and thought it would be nice to have as an option but it's evidently not to be

The XP executable is 54k in size and uses cards.dll, which is 350k. The W7 executable is 829k and uses cardgames.dll, which is 5.92mb in size. The gameplay might look similar, but the graphics of the XP version are much less sophisticated.

Re the Vista version, it's different again. Which is why I'm interested in getting it to run outside of the Vista system.

Then see if you can get the Vista version to run.

If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason why you want to use the Vista version of Freecell over the Windows 7 version? Are they completely different? Nickname: Terminator

Evan Omo,#102014/11/01masoniteWell-Known MemberThread StarterJoined:2002/09/02Messages:445Likes Received:1 Evan Omo, I didn't say I wanted to replace W7's FreeCell with Vista's. I'd just like to run the Vista version outside of the Vista operating system, like from a memory stick in any computer, or installed alongside the W7 version.

So let's say I'm in W7 and I get a hankering to play FreeCell. I can play the XP version, the Vista version, or the W7 version (which are ALL different).

Why? Because I want to. All of us use our computers for different things. There's no accounting for tastes. Or logic. I might as well ask you why you're using Word 2013 (if you are, of course), when Word 2003 is so much simpler.

But seriously, once I found I could run the XP version from a memory stick, regardless of whether the stick is plugged into an XP, Vista or W7 system (or W8 for all I know), then I want to know why I can't do the same with the Vista version.

In actual fact, I suspect it's because the XP version is so basic, that it'll run slaved in any system, while the Vista game is almost as sophisticated as W7's.

I would try the instructions in this video and see if you can get the games to work, Get Windows 7 Games in Windows 8.

I think part of the reason why the games don't work without patching the .exe files is because they do a version check and if they are trying to be run from a different OS version then they won't work.

I have not personally tested this method in the youtube video but its similar to the method that I linked you to in the previous link. I would give this suggestion a shot before throwing in the towel. Nickname: Terminator

Obviously aimed at those unfortunate folk who bought Vista MKII because they can't help thinking that if an operating system is newer, it must be better.

Everything I've found either points to making Windows XP games work with Windows 7 or migrating the games over to Windows 8. Nickname: Terminator

Evan Omo,#152014/11/03masterromingWell-Known MemberJoined:2010/10/07Messages:264Likes Received:14 This may be a ridiculous suggestion, but once you have all the requires Vista FreeCell files in a folder on the USB, have you tried right-clicking the '.exe' file, going to the compatibility tab, and checking the box to run in compatibility mode?

From the dropdown you would choose the Vista option.

Just a thought. Teamwork is essential - it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at

BTW, for anyone who wants to exercise ultimate control over their Vista or W7 FreeCell games, check out this website:
