    anyone know how I can get the old or "classic" windows solitaire on windows 7?

    Got it working. You just need to get sol.exe and cards.dll from an XP machine from the system32 folder and keep them in the same folder on the windows 7 machine. I tried this before I posted, it wasn't working when I put those files in windows 7's system32 folder.

    ViRGE: Yes I was thinking along those lines as well but I have no idea how I would access whatever other way it is sending the streams out. The company does make a proprietary windows app so you don't have to use IE in windows, but there is no way i can figure to get the video from it...

    i don't know, i am running 64bit and there is no x-fi support. so i may switch to 32bit later. i have heard people say that 32bit is faster at this point but i haven't seen any numbers anywhere to confirm this
