I am using win 10 (against my better judgment). After asking here I was able to download a suite of win 7 games. But after one of my weekly upgrades (it seems, maybe I exaggerate) when I try to run any of them I get the message “Missing CardGames.dll”. I went searching on google. One of the sites suggested that you not download from anywhere except Microsoft; otherwise you were likely to get a virus. But I could not find anything at the MS site. Any advice from Dopers? ---

Same problem with the loss of Win 95-98 Tetris. Nothing is as good as the original. IMO YMMV ---

I’ve been using these for some time. I hate the new Win10 games. This package includes: Solitaire Freecell Spider Solitaire Hearts Minesweeper Chess and a few others Works perfectly, no ads or viruses. ---
