HELP!
I have been playing Big Spider two suits 1349150976 for at least 40 times and I need to know - can I win it?
I am on a roll of 127 winning games and don't want to add a loss. Thanks Sooziii

Yes it's winnable. Far from easy. Solution attached.

Thanks for the solution but as I have never used one before how do I read it? Printed it out and need to know how to use it.

Hi Suzanne,
I'm no PC expert but this is how I did it on my machine.
1/. Download it to somewhere you can find it, My Documents for example.
2/. Locate it and ensure that the file extension is .pgs. If it's not, change it (rename).
3/. Do not open the file.
4/. Find the folder that contains your Pretty Good Solitaire. In my PC it is as follows.
Local Disk C/Windows/Application Data/Goodsol/Pretty Good Solitaire.
5/. Open that folder and you will find other saved games, all with . pgs extensions.
6/. Drag and drop the downloaded file into that folder.
7/. Close the folder and return to Desktop.
8/. Click on PGS logo and open games.
9/. Locate and open Big Spider Two Suits.
10/.Click on "Game" at top left of that screen.
11/. Scroll to "Open Game" and click.
12/. You should now see the downloaded game which you click and open.
13/. It will run thru the entire saved game leaving you with just one move to make.
14/. Make that move and it will be recorded as a win in your Stats.
Hope this helps,
Regards, Richard.

Hi Suzanne,
Just an afterthought. Perhaps you'd best ensure that you've clicked on "restart" for your problem game BEFORE you do any of the above.
Otherwise it may record it as a LOSE.
Richard.

Thanks Richard, I had already tried that but it keeps saving as a Text file and I can't change it to a .pgs

Don't worry Richard, I figured out a way to get around the file extension, it worked. Thanks
