Microsoft might be striking back. Its latest updates are stopping your version of windows 7 games. I installed and played your zipped games successfully. They are disappearing — not starting when I click on them.
The files are intact, they simply will not initiate. I noticed a MS update last night and Minesweeper was not working today. Is it safe to poke the giant? I am running windows 10 pro insider preview evaluation copy I am also running windows 10 pro insider preview evaluation copy — They install but will not open, however the last played data updates.
Very kind of you to allow a download without gouging us to accept more than we wanted! On windows DLL module. IDK what changed but someone with deeper knowledge of it might be able to figure something out. I would like to play Wall of Words and Solitaire Cruise but cannot i bought them when i had Windows 7 How can i play them on Windows Will this also work on a brand new Dell with Windows 10 installed, I am a novice and really enjoyed the solitaire games which came with my previous Windows 7 and truly hate the collection which is available in the Micro Wave Store.
But have to admit I am devious about trying this as it might foul up my new pc. Is there anywhere I can verify the safety of this program?
My husband has complained ever since switching to Windows 10, especially about losing Chess Titans. Thank you for making the transition bearable. Update: this package now works in all Windows 10 version including Windows 10 Anniversary Update recent builds.
Thank you very much for fixing this. Can you share what exactly did you have to do? Was it just another patch of the executable?
Still a problem with the NULL error when you undo in spider solitaire. Any clue how to fix this? This works great — thanks! I was hoping and then was surprised that my game stats were still there.
Sergey,, Thank you for the help you have given all these people here. I have learned one thing though. OMG What the heck is going on? I got 10 installed on my computer from 7 and it caused so many problems it got frustrated and tried a rollback to 7. I ended up having to re-install my system from scratch, but I always save all my files to an external 8TB drive from Seagate. I have never lost any files since getting that drive.
Keep up the good work Sergey!!!!! Something so simple and easy but yet Microsoft removes what has been favourites to many people for over 20 years. You have done superb work here. I would expect Windows 10 to lose in popularity after when the free period is over and done with due to the inconsistencies in the OS. How to make them work on Windows 10 Anniversary Update insider preview, i am desperate to play games. Did you re-download the package after it was updated for Anniversary Update?
Maybe MS got vindictive and broke it again on purpose. Just when I was celebrating the positive things about Windows 10 taking my games away more sleep, less wasted time, more work done, more books read, etc. Great download! Thank you so much for giving my Freecell, etc. Shoulda known Microsoft would find a way to mess up a very good program. Many thanks for making it possible to have our favourite games back again.
Well done! Has Microsoft caught up to this install? Great for the games, thanks. But why do a few simple games take MB? What else is coming down with those games? You can always use XP versions of the games. The Windows 10 versions are insanely bloated as hell. And slow as hell and infested with ads too besides the dumbed down gameplay and removed options. Hi Sergey Having bought a Win 8. Thank you so much for supplying this work around to give us our favourite games back. I uninstalled W8 and reinstalled the latest W10 version and all seemed fine for a few games — then the NP issue struck again.
This really messes up our stats when the program aborts unexpectedly. Thank you Sergey, the update with the new dll file worked on the latest Insider Preview just released to the slow ring. Hey man, I installed this game package on my W10pro machine 64 bits and it was working perfectly until this week that I upgraded to the Anniversary Edition released last week.
The games will simply not launch. After reinstalling, same issue, no execution whatsoever of the binaries. Are you aware of this issue? Hello everybody. This version runs on windows 10 ver x Idinstvenno previously stored statistics — cleared when you start the game. Please re-download the updated package which has support for Windows 10 Anniversary Update. The package you had downloaded early will not work. The updated one will do the trick. Remembered this was the place I got previous version of these games and gratefully found an updated download.
Major thanks to all of you who wrote the new software!!! The anniversary update [censored]ed my previous Chess Titans install, so god bless to all the guys that made this fix.
I unpacked them. The unpacked file never appeared, but nevertheless, installation began and the screens looked just as shown in paragraph 1. The problem is that none of the actual games are anywhere where I can find them.
I see none of the games I expected to be installed anywhere in the list. I have been playing this in Windows 10 v but after updating to Windows 10 v Aug.
Miss playing Chess Titan. All you need to do is: — re-download the games package — re-install them. Thanks for this, only one suggestion in locales like es-XX the installer install en-US as language, the installer must install es-ES as language in all es-XX locale i. Any suggestions?
Re-download the provided package. It was updated some time ago to support Anniversary Update. Might want to find a cleaner way to get it working instead. The most recent Win10 upgrade killed my Win 7 Games. What can I do to get it working again? Hi, the games have stopped working after a recent update. I have re-installed, restarted the game couple of times but it does not work. On clicking the shortcut to the game spider solitaire , nothing happens. No application launches. Tried running the main exe and not the shortcut, same result, nothing happens.
Please advice. You need to re-download the updated package and re-install it, not re-install the outdated package. Re-download it, install and you are done. Regarding the windows 7 games on win 10 After upgrading to win 10 ver , the games has stopped working. I have tried to make it run as win 7 , as making win 10 use the 7 adjustments.
Thanks so much for keeping this current. It had vanished after the last automatic Windows update. Reinstalled it and my statistics were still there. Just had to add one more voice of thanks. Really appreciate what you do. Hi, thank you for your work. I downloaded this but, after I extract the zip file, and try to run the exe file, Norton flags it and deletes it. Tried reinstalling with no success.
It works here without issues. These games have stopped working on win10 Oct Can anything be done to bring them back? Is there anything I can do? Have you got a recently patched version in the works? A big thank-you! Get rid of the aggressive Win10 sound and visual effects that are imposed!
It is good to regain calm and sobriety! Especially that the Win10 Updates uninstall these games! Once again thank you! I wonder if Apple make their customers suffer with every new release. Thanks for these games. In some cases, the information overlaps. Same results. Any idea how I can fix this? Melinda was very pleased, so many thanks for helping me maintain my status as the household computer-genius slight exaggeration.
Your awesome, thank you so much. Just one question, this version of spider has different rules than my old spider solitaire. Anyone else find this, or is it just me? I used the d3d9. Is there anyway to install this silently?
With each new W10 version it appears that this needs to be reinstalled and I would love to automate this. Excellent — but every update to Windows 10 uninstalls the pack. I re-install and all saved games are remembered. Now will not work after latest download, Tried uninstall and hard remove all previous versions in all folders and re downloaded and reinstalled with no luck.
When i run the installer, select the games i want and start the instalation, an error message appears. I tried the compatibility mode and runing it as administrator, and the error still appears. Any solutions? I installed the pack but keep getting the error when undoing. I have tested this on Windows 10 Creators Update and it also works on that update. You should modify this page to say that. I just bought a new tablet, installed the games as before, and now NONE will work.
You guys ROCK! Yesterday I was miffed by Microsoft again with one of their automatic updates. The update took away all my offline Windows 7 games along with dumping a few of my other programs. After reloading, all the programs did come back except my Windows 7 games. Doing a little search on the Internet, I did find your winareo.
The games loaded easily and came back without a hitch, including my over win record statistic. You will find a PayPal donation from me later in the day. Thank you and keep up the good work! But now my gtx is having some priblems The game is too heavy for him. I like others I am sure would be prepared to pay a good price for such an option. I added up what I spend on drinks at Starbucks for one week and I am donating that amount to you.
I encourage other people to do the same. Everything works perfectly except Vegas scoring and also Vegas cumulative scoring for Solitaire. Any advice? March 2, I just got another Win 10 update and again, your games were gone. I Windows 10 Home edition, version , build Thank you for any help you can give me. I have bad news! The games themselves will still run though.
There is an error in italian localization name folder. I use win 8. But Chess Titans in level 10 freezes the PC after about 30 moves, only shut down is possible. I did try any ways without and with compatility modes down to win 7 and vista, but nothing helped. Now I will try DirectX 9 to install. The chess game froze the pc again. DirectX 9 does not help with a parallel insallation. Love being able to play the Windows 7 games so thank you.
Been here several times to download those games and look around. Never commented here before. It never fails, I get the message that no restore points exist even though I have system restore turned on. It is a backup of the entire OS which allows you to roll back the upgrade. I believe Windows 10 automatically deletes this after 30 days. I do a system image backup before any upgrade. Actually, you should be doing regular system image backups with daily incrementals. Now I get reminders to update again….
I regularly have Windows10 updating proceedure fail which makes me wonder what is the most common reason for wanting to pause w10 updates. According to Microsoft windows 10 initially worked fine with Windows 8 drivers but that is no longer the case. Quite a coincidence, Last week I spent many hours with Microsoft Technical Support trying to get the upgrade to to work without success. I have just come off line with Microsoft 2nd level Technician who disabled all the upgrade services and modified the Registry.
I thought you mentioned this idea. The very small numbers of machines affected by any update related item s is just that, very small numbers. Most, if I may be so bold, have nothing to do with Windows or the updates themselves but other 3rd party software. Use this at your own risk.
Thanks, Leo! More control over updates is sorely needed — even in Windows 10 Home edition. The boss needs an answer in half an hour! What to do!!! Hi Leo and team! The latest update has worked fine with most of the equipment here two laptops and one tower , but the older one kept restarting the update process a few hours after abandoning the update and reverting. It took about three hours on a blue screen with logo and the spinning wheel, then a reboot and upon restart, reverted to before the update.
After three or four? All seems fine now, but the nuke from orbit approach is a bit much to stabilize what was a machine that used to work just fine. That is what I did. There is a small programme you can download called wushowhide. When you run it, it shows updates that are waiting to be downloaded. You can then tick a box of an update you want to stop and that will then stop that update from running. I have successfully stalled updates on a wired connection by going to Network and Internet Settings, Ethernet, the connections properties, and setting it as a metered connection.
We also heard that unexpected reboots are disruptive if they happen at the wrong time. I am on a metered connection, and Windows Updates suck up all my data. I know I should update more frequently than I do, but it is such a pain-in-the-. My home laptop is not my primary computer and it may sit for a week with no use.
Then, when I grab it to go to a meeting or need to complete some operation on it, there is Update hogging my resources … and generally on a public network that is already slow. As to Update re-enabling on its own … YES it does. The week after Christmas I started up my home laptop and wondered why it was so slow … update was downloading and installing changes. I just assumed that I had forgotten to disable the service a couple weeks before when I had last updated the machine.
Update had re-enabled itself and was downloading updates. I check this service status regularly so I know this was no accident. One way to keep the update service from running is to place the batch file Leo recommended above in the Startup folder. Create a simple text file in Notepad called disable-wu. In that file, put the two lines: sc. You can schedule it to run via the Task Scheduler.
When I started it up this morning from hibernation Windows Update was re-activated. Its been less than a week since the last instance. Sorry, my previous post may have been misleading. When I started up my work laptop Tues to install the. Updates re-enable themselves after a while. Microsoft dislikes it intensely when you take control of your own computer.
Because they believe they own not only the OS but all of your hardware. My three other machines have had no problems. Folks, has anyone bookmarked the post for abbodi OfflineInsiderEnroll tool please, I'm trying to find it but it's not in the main index of his stuff. Anybody got the link, TIA. Found it, here it is.
Feb 20, 59 36 0. Dec 10, 80 Is it fine to download It wont put me into inside right? Also what happens when is released to public, I assume my PC will just "skip" it and then download whatever the next update is?
Or just install and wait till I get via WU? Thank you. Is there any way we can analyses what is the exact cause of issue.
Which logs should i check for the same? I used your guide here tonsetup in place upgrade about a year ago. Everything was working fine until recently the package takes forever to show up on the software Centre. Sometimes it shows up after almost 24 hours. Previously it woild show up within 5 to 10 minutes. Any idea what could be the problem? Just a few question,..
I also have an issue with the in place upgrade from to working perfectly, however, it is still showing as available in the Operating Systems section after install. Your assistance and clear instructions are appreciated. And when i have gone through your blog i was really pleased with your way of guidance you give in your blog. I have tried to create upgrade pakage behalf of this document all settings are fine but targeted OS not show in destination system software center please suggest to em.
This is just for us to actually know how many are in Windows 10 from that bucket. Right now, we are relying on how many machines fall off from the WIN 10 IPU collection but it is difficult to track since we have about nodes. Any idea? Hi, Did you meet any issues with in-place upgrade from win7 to win10 — with office ? Previously after upgrade to everything works fine but not with ….
I am successful at an inplace upgrade from win7 to , However when I apply the windows 10 customization including start menu and task bar…they fail…but no real reason why. We are a global small company and have enterprise. Any thoughts? Hello Prajwal, My upgrade works good. I am using script to remove them. To identify the type of issue, lookup it against the table of known values of Windows Setup errors online. Failed to run the action: Upgrade Operating System.
Unspecified error Error: ; Source: Windows.. The execution of the group Upgrade the Operating System has failed and the execution has been aborted.
An action failed. Everything went perfactly. The applications, data and configurations were fine, but the client lost the network. I think the client lost the network because it lost some specific drivers for Network adapter Intel Prowinx64 — i LM.
I am using an inplace upgrade task sequence to go from to It worked great on about a hundred machines. Hi Oleg, I am facing the same OS upgrade issue on a number of machines others went through perfectly. Just wonder if you have found out the solution? Many thanks.
