Thanks for your help, Gregg, but I am still stuck. I did what you said (which was something I hadn't yet tried) but I still can't get past the AC and AH being stuck. I know I'm just a novice at this, but help? I've played 1000 games and never found one this hard before.

Assuming you have not already gotten a solution, here is what I did (though it is not guaranteed to be the optimal solution :-)):

4C->X KC->X 6D->X 5H->6S 4C->5H QC->KD 2H->X 8H->9S 6D->7C 10H->X JH->QC 10C->JH JD->X [space]
10H->space 9C->10H QD->X AS/2S->off [auto]
9D->10C [space]
KC->space QD->KC 4S->X KH->X 3S->4D 2D->3S AH/2H->off [auto]
9H->X 3H->off [space]
2D->space 3S/4S->off 2D->X [space]
3H->4C [from foundation] 4D->space 2C->3H JC->QD JS->QH 5S->6D [space] 4D->5S [2 spaces] 10H->JC [3 spaces]
JD->space QH->space 10S->JD 9H->10S 7S->8D 2C->space 3H/4H->off 6S->7H AD/2D->off [auto]
2C->X [space]
7D->space 10D->JS QS->X AC/2C->off [auto]
KH->space QD->KH JD->QS [space]

At this point you have all four foundations started, all four cells empty, plus a bonus free space, so it should be simple from this point.

By the way, the best way to get my attention in this forum is to repond directly, in the same thread. My profile is configured to email me responses. If you start a new thread, however, you will have to wait until the next time I happen to wander through. :-)
