Casual Games, Card Games, Brain Games, And Puzzles To Exercise Your Brain
Q: After I install the game, the game changes the monitor resolution. Likewise, after playing the
game, I have to manually change the resolution back to my original settings. I have installed the update
of the program, but this problem still exists.
A: If you have updated the program and still have resolution problems, then you may need to update
your video driver and Microsoft’s DirectX. Make you sure you’ve visited your computer manufacturer’s
website and updated your video or display drivers. Also visit http://www.microsoft.com/directx to update
DirectX.
Q: Is it possible to minimize the screen while still playing the game. It’s frustrating to have to leave
the game in the middle when I need to check emails.
A: No, the game itself cannot be ‘minimized’ in the typical Windows way. However, you can press Ctrl-
Esc on your keyboard to show your Task Bar and then you can click another program to bring it to the
front. Keep in mind, however that because the game is still running, DirectX is still controlling your
graphics and everything will look large until you click back to the game and exit from it.
Q: When I open the game, it fills the entire screen and seems to be shifted to the left. I cannot see all
the game buttons like “OK” … how come?
A: You may have Large Fonts enabled, this could be causing the shift. XP has two locations that
determines font size. The first location is under Display Properties / Appearance, you have the option of
Normal, Large & Extra Large fonts. The second place is under Display Properties / Settings / Advanced.
You will see a DPI setting option. Make sure it is set to Normal (96DPI) and not to Large (120DPI).
Q: When I try to play Solitaire, only one type of game comes up. Your package says it has over 100.
Where are the rest?
A: To change game variations, from the main menu, highlight SOLITAIRE by running your mouse over
it. The game will highlight and below the title, you will see Change. Click on ‘Change’ and a window will
pop up with all the variations of Solitaire to choose from.
Q: How do I see different options for the games?
A: You can view all options available for a game by highlighting the game title on the main menu
(highlight by running your mouse over game title). The game will highlight and below the title, you will see
Change. Click on ‘Change’ and a window will pop up with all the variations and game options to choose
from, including different game types, variations, number of players and more.
Q: How do I get more money to play Poker?
A: Go to “Users” on the main menu of Best of Card Games. Choose “Player Setup”. You can get more
money in one of two ways:
1. Reset Bankroll – this will reset your bankroll to the default values BUT it will affect your profit/loss
statistic if you are keeping track.
2. Borrow Money – if you have less than $5,000 in your virtual bank, you can borrow money against
the house.
Q: Does your game keep track of how well I am playing?
A: Yes. You can see your statistics including how many hands you’ve played and won/lost for each of the
games. Go to “Users” on the main menu of Best of Card Games. Choose “Player Statistics”. There will
be a tab for each of the games. Click the tab of the game you wish to see stats for.
Q: In the Hearts game, it doesn’t lead with the 2 of Clubs and it should. Also it passes 3 cards to the
right every time and there is no “no pass” round. This game seems to cheat. Why?
A: The situations you are describing are not designed to cheat you in the game, but they are options
which you can control. If you open the SETTINGS are of the game, you can make these changes and
customize the game to your liking, as each person becomes accustomed to playing a certain way. The
“Lead with 2 Clubs” is an option that you can enable if you wish, as well as the “Passing” issue. You can
set to pass right / left, alternate (right / left / right / left) or not at all.
Q: My canasta game keeps freezing up, do you have a fix?
A: Yes, an update is available. Click below to download the update.
