SYMPTOMS
When you are playing Microsoft Spider Solitaire and you click and drag a card, Spider Solitaire may not display properly.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if your display is configured to use 256 colors, and Microsoft Windows Media Player version 7 is running.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, Use High Color (16bit) or True Color display mode, or decrease your hardware acceleration.

Change the Display Mode

 * 1) Right-click the Windows desktop, and then click Properties.
 * 2) Click the Settings tab, and then click either High Color (16bit) or True Color in the Colors box.
 * 3) Click OK to apply your changes, and then restart your computer.

Decrease Hardware Acceleration

 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click System.
 * 3) Click the Performance tab, and then click Graphics.
 * 4) Note the position of the Hardware Acceleration slider. Move the slider one position to the left to decrease hardware acceleration, click OK, and then click Close.
 * 5) Restart your computer and test Spider Solitaire. If the problem is not resolved, repeat steps 1 through 5, moving the Hardware Acceleration slider one more position to the left until it is set to none.
