Damn, that’s quick! But is that with the newest version, the one that comes with WinXP, where, once the cards are all showing, you can send them all “home” just by right-clicking, instead of having to do it one card at a time?

**Jake** , I’m pretty certain **RyanV** is playing the standard Solitaire game that ships with every copy of Windows.

Yup the standard version.

It’s pretty crazy when you get sub 60 seconds. If I screw up once, I just restart instead of finishing the whole game because I know I wont best myself.

Ok since I can’t edit I’ll just post again.

The standard version that comes with windows does not let you “send them all home by right clicking” you have to do it manually unless I’m missing something. 🙂

The version that comes with Windows XP has that new feature. I stumbled on it accidentally, and said WTF?!
