HELP!
I have been playing Big Spider two suits 1349150976 for at least 40 times and I need to know - can I win it?
I am on a roll of 127 winning games and don't want to add a loss. Thanks Sooziii |

Yes it's winnable. Far from easy. Solution attached.

Thanks for the solution but as I have never used one before how do I read it? Printed it out and need to know how to use it. |

Hi Suzanne,
I'm no PC expert but this is how I did it on my machine.
1/. Download it to somewhere you can find it, My Documents for example.
2/. Locate it and ensure that the file extension is .pgs. If it's not, change it (rename).
3/. Do not open the file.
4/. Find the folder that contains your Pretty Good Solitaire. In my PC it is as follows.
Local Disk C/Windows/Application Data/Goodsol/Pretty Good Solitaire.
5/. Open that folder and you will find other saved games, all with . pgs extensions.
6/. Drag and drop the downloaded file into that folder.
7/. Close the folder and return to Desktop.
8/. Click on PGS logo and open games.
9/. Locate and open Big Spider Two Suits.
10/.Click on "Game" at top left of that screen.
11/. Scroll to "Open Game" and click.
12/. You should now see the downloaded game which you click and open.
13/. It will run thru the entire saved game leaving you with just one move to make.
14/. Make that move and it will be recorded as a win in your Stats.
Hope this helps,
Regards, Richard. |

Hi Suzanne,
Just an afterthought. Perhaps you'd best ensure that you've clicked on "restart" for your problem game BEFORE you do any of the above.
Otherwise it may record it as a LOSE.

Thanks Richard, I had already tried that but it keeps saving as a Text file and I can't change it to a .pgs |

Don't worry Richard, I figured out a way to get around the file extension, it worked. Thanks |
