Duplicates in the stats can happen if information changes, such as email address. I periodically go through and delete any duplicates that I find.
We'll have a new system for PGS next year, based on the Action Solitaire's new system, which will have a better way of handling this.

I have been playing games on the laptop as we travel round Oz. Will it be possible to download the stats from the laptop and have them added to the exsisting stats |

No; you should copy goodsol folder from your applications to laptop, when you return home copy this folder back to your home pc; or better still keep your stats updated on a CD; |

Can you give me the exact file name? I have access to a few computers and I would like to play PGS on more than my laptop.
If possible I want to download it to my Jump drive, so that I can carry it with me. The file I copied I have to replace it with the exsiting file? Right?
Thanks,
Diana |

For reference, the statistics for Pretty Good Solitaire are stored in the following folders. To do a backup or a copy you will want to copy this folder.
In version 7.2 and earlier, the data folder is the Games folder under the main program folder (for the Quest Edition, this would usually be C:\Program Files\goodsol01\Games).
In version 8.0 and higher, the data folder location depends on the version of Windows. In Windows 98/ME, it is usually the :\Windows\Application Data\Goodsol\Pretty Good Solitaire folder. In Windows NT/2000 and XP, it is usually the C:\Documents and Settings\[Windows User Name]\Application Data\Goodsol\Pretty Good Solitaire folder, where [Windows User Name] is your user name for Windows.

Thomas,
I looked for that file and I could not find it. By the way, I have Windows XP. |

For some reason, Windows hides the 'Application Data' folder, so you may need to show hidden files and folders to be able to browse to it.

Sure... 
[Note: These instructions are for Windows 2000, so they may need to be modified slightly for Windows XP.]
1) Open 'Windows Explorer'
2) Select 'Tools|Folder Options...'
3) Click on the 'View' tab
4) Change the 'Hidden files and folders' setting to 'Show hidden files and folders'
5) Click 'OK' to confirm
I hope this helps.

Can you replay a lost game in your stats to remove it? |

That is a great idea! When one has accidentally clicked on new game, or one has improved enough to try to win some old ones, it would really be good!

I would like the opposite to remove a won game!!!
the reason being that i help people win some of the difficult games and then when I replay it to find out how i won it to record the moves it shows as two wins for the same game on the statistics so for instance i needed to replay golf and it shows on the internet as 3games i have won but i would prefer it to only show 2

I would like to remove some games also, but
I decided not to get so hung up on my stats
and just enjoy the games.

WAY TO GO POLLY! I enjoy seeing someone in this world so torn by political strife and other global concerns just go back to enjoying something originally intended for enjoyment and NOT getting hung up in minutiae like solitaire statistics!

No, replaying the same game number will not replace a previous score.
There are two reasons for this.
1) Being able to replace a score would take away some of the integrity of the scoring system.
2) It would be impractical to have to search back through what can be tens of thousands of scores looking for a previous play of that game number. It would simply take too much time.

Thanks Melinda for the compliment. I have
enjoyed hours and hours of relaxation with
the solitarie games. that's why I try my
best to win, but if I start to feel stressed
I click on a new game or play another game.

Hi all,
Just won my 5000th game. I know that is small compared to many. It is still a milestone for me. I have played 30 games 50 or more times. I was wondering how others have fared? I have also won all but 7 games.
chat seems slow lately,

Jax Ken, I agree. The chat does seem to be slow. As usual, you're the man because I have won only 2058 games, but I have played 130 games 50 times or more. I have 49 left to win. That was one of my goals years ago to see how many I could win but I must be getting old since I have no desire to play games that bore me anymore. So Ken, what is the game you're most proud of? For me, it's Midshipman. Only 2 other people have perfect scores besides myself (unlike Free Cell, for example, where hundreds of people have perfect scores...ironically, I suck at Free Cell!)

hi Ken
well done for 5000
i am up to 8842 wins but with 15213 losses probably not as good as most people
I have played 5 games over 1000 times and a further 91 more than 50 times
you are better than me in games as I have 8 to go
the same 7 as you and Binary star which I get bored with playing as soon as i start it.
regards Paul

Hi Ken and Paul,
Have yet to play a game 1000 time. Point Sable is my closest at 800+ (all wins at least). Accordian was my most unusal...I had 104 wins with no one else undefeated, others have caught me. Spaces and Aces is next. 265 out of 289 total wins...seems odd. Ill check out Midshipman. I need a new game. I only have 442 loses but I clear at the start when Im learning the game and you guys gave me a lot of winning #s so many games I have won I have played only once.

I have 103 wins and no losses for Maze, and I believe it can always be won, if one perseveres. I had 600-700 games for something on my old computer, Penguin, I think, but I play Action Sol so much now, that I will probably never play 1000 of anything. I am going to try the ones Kjell lists that I have never tried, since I am always looking for a new game to enjoy.
Pondpaul, are you a bridgeplayer? I seem to remember a similar name from OKBridge.

Ken,
Midshipman #1364917248 was a good one, Thought I would lose one at my 20th game. Give it a try and let me know what you think. |

I'm fascinated by peoples' different goals. mine is to win one of each and I still have 125 to go! But, I didn't play for a year, being unable to re-insert my scores. Currently, I'm playing Crossroads, which I like, although its architecture (that you will lose)is only too obvious. Does anybody have a solveable number? Even with that the critical moves quite often escape me. Galloway was a kick, once I found the crafty move. My joy is Waxing Moon, still unwon! |

Yes, it is interesting that we all have different preferences in PGS. Because so many of you are trying to win one of each game, I decided to try it. Started with Accordion, but got bored. I like to try for a high score to post, and care nothing about averages. I like to play games that require strategy, more than luck, and am always eager to learn a new game, that is out of the ordinary. I have played Waxing Moon a lot, since Audrey suggested it, and it is fun, but very hard. (no wins) I tried Waning Moon,too,and have won every game, even when it seemed impossible in the middle of play. I enjoy having both PGS and ActSol to play. |
