vista spider solitaire helper

I play Vista spider 2 suits (intermediate). I have solved the first 516 games (and still going). I read somewhere that all 2 suit games are solveable. I could not have solved the games without an Excel spreadsheet that I developed that does not solve the games but helps you solve them by keeping track of the cards you have managed to expose. I only use it on the hard ones but without it I would have given up on many. I would be happy to share it with anyone who is like me and is determined to solve every game. It has an easy way to enter the cards.

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

You can reinstall the game if you want. Then it should fix your issue

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

I don't have an issue with the game. I think you misread my post

I just got Vista and played many games of spider solitaire. I completed all games yet when I checked my statistics it said I had lost one game- I hadn't. I reset the stats and started again. After about 60 games, it again said I had lost one. I had completed all, but did back track. I wondered if by back tracking before ending the game you lose a game, even though I went to the end and solved it.
Can anyone help?

I have been able to backtrack many times in a game and when I ultimately complete it it has always counted as a win. My stats are now:
Games played 526
Games won 526
Win percentage 100%

Longest winning streak 526
Longest losings streak 0
Current streak 526

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

Thanks for that. There must be a glitch in mine because I have definitely completed each game but twice now it has ruined my stats without warning!
Good luck to you in your scoring!

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

I assume you are playing in the Intermediate or Advanced option. I am playing Intermediate but I can't believe the game performs differently in any mode. I have never tried it in Beginner mode.

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

I am playing in the Intermediate option. It is mysterious that after the fireworks, it just records a winning game as a loss inexplicably. But thanks for the sympathy.

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

I don't see any fireworks in Vista spider. I used to see them in XP spider. Are you sure you are playing Vista spider?

Re: vista spider solitaire helper

Vista spider plays fireworks when you win a game.

You might try resetting your numbers, perhaps that will zero it out and fix
the problem. Another possibility would be to uninstall and reinstall it.

Hope that helps!
