Has anyone had any luck with this game? A couple moves and you are done, it seems like. Is there one that's winnable?

Well, I guess I just don't get it, I'm still not having any luck. Downloaded your solution, Paul, and don't understand it. Help, please -- what do the numbers mean?

Hi Gail,
I posted this before but it's not easy to locate.

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.

9/. should be changed to refer to whatever game you've downloaded the file for.
