OK, here goes... My mom likes to play Freecell and has for years on Win 95/98/XP, the problem is that now the screen resolutions have gotten higher, the pixels tinier, her eyesight poorer and the old versions are non-resizable. She complains it's now too small.

Vista's Freecell IS resizable. Would a 32 bit Vista Freecell run on an XP machine? I don't have a 32bit version here to test, I'm running 64. The old version was just an .exe IIRC, you could copy it anywhere and it would run. I don't know if the current one needs some Vista system .dlls to run...

And no, I'm not palnning on getting her a Vista machine, no need for her to have a heart attack... ;)

TIA, --ch
