I have a link that I've used for years and no problem. I don't play spider solitaire, but golf solitaire.

When you open the link you'll see spider solitairs.

Again, no problem for me. My server is AOL.

Here is a link that might be useful: solitaire

Windows 8 doesn't come with them preloaded but you can get the same package of games that was on the previous versions of Windows. Below is a link telling about this and where they are in the windows game store for free.

Zone 6b palms?
Q
Comments (13)
Needle palms are probably the only palms that will grow in a zone 6b in Oregon, Sabal minors require a lot of summer heat to grow well (native to the southeast USA). They can handle pretty cold temperatures, probably around 0F when established if the duration is breif, but they wont put out more than a frond or 2 a year in climates that dont get hot (even in climates that are hot, they are slow growers that put out only about 3-4 fronds a year). Trachys are a great choice since they are easy to protect. They are reliably cold hardy to about 7F, lets say 10F to play it safe. They are the most common cold hardy palm grown in my area since they grow trunks so they give the tropical look a bit easier. As for potted palms, there are plenty of good ones. My personal favorite are Spindle palms. They are really tough. I grow at least 15 different species of palms as potted plants currently and this one is the easiest of them that tolerates sun during the summer months. Chamaedoreas are very easy and do great in shade, but will not tolerate sun. Chamaedorea seifrizii is one of my favorites of that species. Solitare palms are really easy indoor palms as well. They dont really grow that well in sun outdoors so partial shade is best. They grow just as well indoors as they do outdoors for me, making a new frond every 6 weeks or so. You can also try yuccas and tropical bulbs (like elephant ears, cannas, etc...) for a tropical look in your zone. They look good with perrenials that are already common in your area so you dont have to worry about it not looking right. Good luck! -Alex

Gotta be super careful downloading those card games cause they'll load you up with unwanted stuff - toolbars etc. Just downloading may result in babylon and funmode being installed. Before you even start the game installation. !!!!! I hated the W7 games so transferred the XP games to W7 this way which should work for 7 to 8: find a friend with XP or 7 if you don't have one yersef. Contol panel > folder options > check 'show hidden folders' navigate to C:\Windows\System32 Copy the following files to a USB memory stick, or CD (whatever means you have to move files): cards.dll freecell.exe mshearts.exe sol.exe spider.chm spider.exe spider.hlp winmine.exe Create a Desktop Folder and paste all that into that folder (do not put it in the Windows\system32 folder) Launch the games from there or make a desktop shortcut. Uncheck 'show hidden folders'

Do you play double solitaire?
Q
Comments (8)
alisande, I found this I hope it helps. Hope you grand-daughter is doing well. Kittywhiskers Double Solitaire This is a competitive version of Klondike patience (solitaire). Each of the two players plays with their own 52-card pack. The backs of the cards should be different so that they can be sorted out after the game. Each player deals a layout as for Klondike: 28 cards in 7 piles, each having the top card face up and the rest face down. The left hand pile has just one card, the second two, and so on, the right hand pile having seven cards. Between the two rows of 7 piles is space for eight foundation piles, which can be played on by either player. Each player begins with a stack of 24 face-down cards. The player with the lower card on their one-pile starts - or in case of a tie whoever has the lower card on their two-pile and so on. At your turn you can make a series of moves as in Klondike. You may move cards around on your own layout, move cards onto the foundation piles when they fit, and move cards from your discard pile to your layout or the foundations. You are not allowed to play onto or use your opponent's layout or discard pile. You end your turn when you cannot or choose not to make any other moves by turning over the top card of your face-down stack, and placing it on your face-up discard pile. Your opponent then plays. The game ends when one player has played all the cards to the foundation piles, or when both players are blocked, in which case the winner is the player who has played more cards to the foundation piles. A free Double Solitaire computer game playable across the web is available from Robert Nichols' solitaire.com web site.

Stone the Crows Thos pesky crows are bored of the corn fields and have found that nibbling on nice, tasty marijuana plants is rather fun. However, this isn't going down so well with Farmer Sue Tickle who is determined to stop these high fliers from getting high. Load up your rifle and head for the fields. As well as the bonged-out birds, take a pop at the Drugs Enforcement Officers (their heads only - they're wearing bullet-proof vests) and the dreaded crop sprayer plane.

you can do this from windows 8 tiles, but I will just give the link right to the windows game store for you. pick what you want, spider solitaire is there as you can see along with many others. This is a safe location from Microsoft.

be extremely careful getting free games from online sites that is one of the top methods of infection. Be sure to have Wot installed on your browser before searching random sites so you can see if they are rated safe or not. Wot comes for all browsers pick the right one to install.

Some things is wrong if you are not able to get the games directly from the Microsoft game store, it should be a simple click on the selected game and install, now you will get a pop up warning that is part of the uac but it should just be you authorized it to be installed on your pc. There's no reason why any antivirus programs would balk at the Microsoft games they are made for windows. I think you have

some thing seriously wrong with the Norton. It is definitely not a favorite of mine once I got rid of it years ago I won't ever use it again, to each their own.
I really don't understand the problem with the one Glenda gave, you just play it online it isn't even a download.

I guarantee you this site is safe, my husband has been playing on it for years every single day and I have played on it often and you know I would never be going to any site that is dangerous in any way and it has a great wot rating. If anything says this one is bad then you have a problem on your computer that is affecting what is going on with the AV. Have you run an updated malwarebytes scan if not I would sure do that.

go here and try this site you can choose to change the game they have many options.

What kind of success rate do you have while playing, Goldy (and others)?

I think that I run about 12% ... about 2% on Minesweeper ... and nearly 95% on Freecell.
