Windows 7 had a set of nice, beautiful games including the classic card games with new shiny graphics and some great new games from Vista like Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans and Purble Place. For some reason, Microsoft decided to discontinue these games and offers bloated Modern games from the Store instead.

ClintThanks very much for the games that I lost after upgrading to Windows 10 Pro. I installed Spider Solitaire and it is exactly the same, including retrieving my history and win percentage. However, I have encountered a bug. Sometimes when using CTRL-Z to undo a move I get an error message: an unexpected null pointer has been encountered.
When I click “OK” the game exits and I have no way to complete the game. This has happened several times. This never happened in Windows 7. I was able to undo all the way to the beginning of the game to play over, but I can never do that now. If I try to do it I will eventually get the null pointer error. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but still get the same error. I do appreciate getting my game back, but it is frustrating to exit a game without winning it.
I hate giving up. ↓.
AlwynAllanI’ve had the NULL pointer problem for months and I found the cause and solution, for me at least. The problem first occurred on a brand new laptop, but my desktop was fine. I was using a Logitech M535 Bluetooth mouse on the laptop, and then I got another one for my desktop, and the NULL pointer problem started occurring there too. On both machines I was using the mouse with the stock Microsoft driver. Then I installed “Logitech Options” on the desktop, and the problem went away. I later installed it on the laptop, and the problem went away there too.Anyone else notice this problem occurring with a Logitech or Bluetooth mouse?
↓. Art JorgensenI just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and immediately missed my games, especially Chess Titans and Spider Solitaire.
I found your website and downloaded the zip file. Norton Software warned me against the file so I came back to your website and checked out the comments and reviews before installing the program. My goodness, it worked flawlessly and immediately right from the start! How easy that was! I got an extra bonus when my statistics for Spider Solitaire were not automatically deleted when I upgraded to Windows 10 and they reappeared the first game I played. So I was able to pick up where I left off without interruption.
Thanks very much for your website. ↓. Ellen LequimeUnfortunately windows will not let me choose 7-zip to unzip. If I double click on the winaero program, I get the message: the program cannot be found.
If I right-click on the program, I can choose to unzip but only with winzip or express-zip.I can only find the winaero program in “recent downloads” but not if I go into “this computer – programs”. Funny enough the program winzip seems to exist in “programs”.I have tried downloading the 7-zip first as 86, the as 64, but without result (did not know which one I should choose). ↓. WilliamOkay, now what?
I worry I’ve downloaded something not on the up and up. I clicked on the first link, the Windows 7 Games archive and got this MEGA download thing. And that’s it. Certainly no Windows 7 games. Have tried twice (incl.
Signing up for whatever this MEGA thing is). The MEGA thing is asking me to upload or drag anything to its cloud service. There has been no exe file to open, or at least no games.Tried the other route (the alt. Link) and my anti-virus software prevents the download.
↓. Sergey Tkachenko Post authorSee that other anitiviruses report:file is “patcher”, means it heavily modifies game’s exe files to make it run on Windows 10.Viruses have the same behavior, however, they usually inject their body into the file.This patcher just modifies the file header and increases the supported Windows version.That’s it. It is clean.If you are not happy with such behavior of the patcher, then do not install these games. There is not other way to get it working.
There is no other “clean” version, it is not possible. ↓. steventhanks a million.I love chess titans but I also love CHESS FUSION in windows 10 But if I have to get it in Windows10 from the MICROSOFT STORE I HAVE TO TAKE ON ALL THESE OTHER APPS I DONT NEED.THESE OTHER APPS INTERFERE WITH THE SYSTEM and how I open up folders I use WINDOWS medie player or veiwer to veiw Documents or Pictures. Iuse ADOBE READER for PDF files.I use GOOGLE CHROME for the internet.Which is the fastest internet brouser in the world. Microsoft should have given away the internet explorer and the Bing bar years ago and done a deal with google chrome.I use AVAST for security the one that works in windows 10. BUT ANYWAY THANKS A MILLION. ↓.
Gary ParksSergey, Thank you for the help you have given all these people here. I am a computer engineer((retired) and understand the complexities involved in trying to make something work on a system that doesn’t already have it on it. I have learned one thing though.
Windows 10 is a piece of SH.T and why Microsoft engineers every came up with it is beyond me. They’re making money hand over fist and still trying to gouge the little guy by taking aways games that everyone loved and putting in advertising as well.OMG What the heck is going on? I got 10 installed on my computer from 7 and it caused so many problems it got frustrated and tried a rollback to 7. That didn’t work as it had deleted files that 7 needed but were not compatible with 10. I ended up having to re-install my system from scratch, but I always save all my files to an external 8TB drive from Seagate.
I have never lost any files since getting that drive. Keep up the good work Sergey!!!!!Gary.
↓. AndyHi SergeyHaving bought a Win 8.1 Laptop, I have been enjoying W7GFW8 for a couple of years. Thank you so much for supplying this work around to give us our favourite games back.I upgraded to Windows 10 Dual Boot just before the deadline and immediately hit the “Spider Null Pointer” issue.I uninstalled W8 and reinstalled the latest W10 version and all seemed fine for a few games – then the NP issue struck again. This really messes up our stats when the program aborts unexpectedly.Are you any nearer to a fix please?KRAndrew. ↓. Richard ShaFollowing the directions at I downloaded the Zip archive with Games today (9/04/2016) from I unpacked them.
The unpacked file never appeared, but nevertheless, installation began and the screens looked just as shown in paragraph 1. I selected all the games, proceed, and when it was done I clicked “the “Finish” button. The problem is that none of the actual games are anywhere where I can find them.In “Program and Functions” there is “Windows 7 Games for Windows 10 and 8” but if I select my choices are to either uninstall or cancel. I see none of the games I expected to be installed anywhere in the list. ↓. Rickesh JohnHi, the games have stopped working after a recent update. I have re-installed, restarted the game couple of times but it does not work.
On clicking the shortcut to the game (spider solitaire), nothing happens. No application launches. I have tried to run with compatibility settings of Windows 7 & Windows 8. I have also ran it with administrator privileges but the game just doesn’t start. Tried running the main exe and not the shortcut, same result, nothing happens.
Please advice.OS Details:Windows 10 ProfessionalVersion: 1607OS Build 14393.187. ↓. BillThanks for these games. The text at the bottom right of each game which is supposed to show the ‘score/number of moves/points taken this hand/etc.’ is too far to the right – it doesn’t show up on the window. In some cases, the information overlaps. For example, in Spider Solitaire I see “Score 50” and the rest of the score is covered up by “Mov”.
The number of moves isn’t shown at all (it’s off the right of the window). I’ve tried resizing the window and full screen. Same results. I’ve also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any idea how I can fix this?
↓. ron moserjust updated windows to 10.0.15063 and lost all the games I previously installed from winero.when this happened during the last update I just re downloaded from your website and reinstalled games, all worked good. Now will not work after latest download, Tried uninstall and hard remove all previous versions in all folders and re downloaded and reinstalled with no luck. Keep getting error “no suitable graphics devices found” Any ideas on how to fix, I really miss these great games.thanks. ↓. Knute DresdenYou guys ROCK!
Yesterday I was miffed by Microsoft (again) with one of their automatic updates. The update took away all my offline Windows 7 games along with dumping a few of my other programs. After reloading, all the programs did come back except my Windows 7 games.
Doing a little search on the Internet, I did find your winareo.com site and downloaded the Win7Games4Win10. The games loaded easily and came back without a hitch, including my over 3000 win record statistic. You will find a PayPal donation from me later in the day. Thank you and keep up the good work! ↓. Joseph StatesonBeen here several times to download those games and look around. Never commented here before.
After I retired I got “challenged” to solve them and discovered there was a debug package that allowed saving the game before making any move. I then made a hobby of solving the games and put together a C# program to find the best moves.
I recently put it at github.com/BeemerBiker There is a 32 bit and a 64 bit executable or one can download the sources and build using VS2017. I can consistently solve over%85 with this help. At one time I thought all games were solvable but I don’t believe that any more. I have a collection of games I was unable to solve, some never had an open column.I was never able to trap that null pointer error in windows 10.
I am looking at that as it might be possible to have the correct (older) dll that does not cause the problem installed and used but I am no expert on windows internals.The latest update (fall creator?) deleted the win7 spider solitare and put in windows 10 version but a re-install worked OK.I do not have bitcoins but if you put a GRC address up I can send you a few.Joseph “Beemer Biker” Stateson99′ R1100Rt. ↓.
HarryBefore W10 the 1803 version, I had already this games downloaded (play it every day) and I made a quick launch on my desktop (which I named: W7 games). Now the 1803 version is installed and off course all the games were disappeared.After downloading again from this site, the games work (ok for you and many thanks) but I only can start them up from the program bar (left, than to Games and than choose a game).I would like to have the same quick launch back, in with as the result was a square with all the games with there own logo. Nice view and easy to choose.How can I install such a quick launch again?
↓. ChuckHere’s an “easter egg” or trivia about FreeCell:For FreeCell, click on Game, then Select Game (or press F3) and then type in game number either -1 (minus one) or -2 (minus two) to see two games that are not solvable.I encourage everyone who enjoys these games to contribute even a small amount to this guy. I added up all of the money I spend on coffee for one week and I donated that amount.PayPal allowed me to send money to an email address. If you click on About and scroll down a bit, you will see the email address of hb860@live.ru.
↓. Robert WrenThanks so much for making this W 7 to W 10 game transition possible. All the other work I’ve put in with thisupgrade hasn’t bothered me like the loss of my favorite games. The best thing was the not losing the stats that I have years invested in. My favorite, Free Cell has almost 8500 games played with a 98% win record. I was reallyupset about not being able to continue to my goal of 99% maybe even 100% someday. Anyway thanks again for your effort to make my life a little happier getting my games back I really appreciate what you did.
↓. j2eExcellent being able to play Windows 7 Games on Windows 10! Quick question. How can I get the new games to honor and keep all my old statistics. I copied all of the scoring and config xml files for solitaire from my old windows 7 machine. On the first startup, the Windows 10 games read my statistics and winnings from the old machine, but as soon as I play a game, some of the statistics are forgotten – for example it will not add or subtract from my accumulated winnings. Solitaire sets them back to just the winnings or losses on the first game and begins to accumulate from there.
Is there a way to fix this?
