On a similar note, does anyone know if there's a way to reset the
default size of the Solitaire game? I recently upgraded to an Orchid
ProDesigner II at 1024x768x256, where Windows had been installed for
a stock VGA (it was actually an ET3000 SVGA, but I didn't have the
800x600x16 drivers when I installed Windows), and the default window
size when Solitaire comes up chops off most of the rightmost card
stack -- to get all of the stacks completely visible, I have to widen
the window to almost the full screen width, which leaves large gaps
between the stacks.

Is this problem solvable by playing with the configuration, or do I
have to reinstall Solitaire from the original disks?
