I’m at my neighbor’s house helping her fix her recently-busted Dell Dimension running Vista Business. My neighbor is a sweet woman, who is particularly computer savvy for her near-senior age. While I’m busy trying to figure out how Vista knows I’m connected to the Internet when it’s not actually receiving a single data packet from Comcast, my neighbor asked me if Vista came with solitaire. I quickly replied, sure, it’s in Programs > Accessories > Games… just like every previous version of Windows. In fact, it’s not.
Solitaire isn’t even installed by default on the new Microsoft OS. Here’s what I just had to do:
- Start > Control Panel.
- Windows Needs Your Permission. Do you want to allow that? Yes.
- Turn On/Off Windows Features.
- Windows Needs Your Permission. Do you want to allow that? Yes.
- Turn on solitaire.
- Windows Needs Your Permission. Do you want to allow that? Yes.
- Please wait, this could take a few minutes. (It took four.)
- Restart now.
Mark Needs Your Permission. Do you want to allow laughter? Yes.
