I presume by CMOS you are referring to the BIOS – will you please clarify? (ideally in a step-by-step sequence). Again, an irritation rather than a major hair-tearing-out, MS-again, moment. ![]() Again, I cannot be sure when this behaviour started but am guessing about the same time as the FreeCell nonsense. ![]() I usually put my PC in sleep mode at night. I think this behaviour also applies to other icons swopping places (not very sure on this point). The area is one icon’s worth high and extends horizontally across all columns, which has been maximum of 4 columns. I put them back and at some point – don’t know when – I realise they are re-displaced. John, I am suffering another odd effect, to wit, my icons in a certain place on my desktop repeatedly displace themselves. My son, who works for MS in Reading, made the same “may be the graphic memory” suggestion (and then went off on holiday!). My thanks for your replies, but especially to John Brown whose suggestion may well be the answer. This may or may not affect the problem, but it’s worth a try. Obviously, hardware problems are harder to deal with, but since you probably have an on-board video you may be able to go into the CMOS and change the amount of memory assigned to the card. If it is a hardware issue, you may also see other indications of “artifacts” in other places not so obvious. It wouldn’t seem to be a software problem or it would respond to the re-install, either of the game itself or certainly if you re-installed Vista. If I understand what you’re describing with a column being “displaced”, what you may be seeing is an “artifact” created by a defect in the video memory system. Ace is the lowest and King is the highest card of value. The goal of FreeCell is stack up 52-card deck in order of suits in Foundation piles. Try and beat your own record in FreeCell. FreeCell Offline is completely playable without the internet. I also looked on MS’s site FAQ and posted there but three weeks later I have no hope of a response. FreeCell is one of the most popular kinds of Solitaire card games. I also ran various on-line anti-malware products- again no change. In attempts to correct this fault, I have twice re-installed FreeCell in the games directory and even re-installed Vista with my firewall and AV only – all to no avail. The game continues even through a few games before behaving as 1. With the displaced column in its displaced position, ![]() Windows is searching for a solution”Īnd when I cancel it (after seeing it for the 20th time) I am presented with a second message “FreeCell.exe is restarting”, which it does normally. Two error messages appear stating “FreeCell.exe has stopped working. ago with the game freezing during play by displacing a column vertically downwards, then one of two things happen: I hope someone can help with this recently-appeared problem, which is really annoying (rather than disastrous), but it may be an indication of something more deep-rooted.
