Vista - Saved Hold 'Em game won't go away!

04-29-2008

i dunno if i had a bad shutdown, a BSOD, or whatever, but every time i start
up Hold 'Em, it always asks if i want to resume my saved game. it's always
the same hand, same standing, and hence i can't advnace my stats. not much of
a big deal since it's just and "extra", but the issue intrigues me. i took a
quick look around the file system and was not able to find any directory for
the game - i was hoping to delete the save file if i could find it. any
thoughts on this anamoly? thanks guys.

Have a look in Saved Games under your User folder. It'll be in there.

You can right click on the Hold 'Em icon in the games section and
select saved games and delete what you don't want...
