it resets the score everytime you flip the deck..

i think highest score should be top.

Hey Loopz - did you customise solitaire so as to have a special logo?? Makes me feel good every time I see it.

For the uninitiated, it's when you get to the bottom of the pack (cue a host of 'zero reply's).

It works OK with Firefox but not with IE.

I'm running 1280x1024 and opened it to check, it was pretty much full-screen.

(and that's Firefox.. on a Mac)

here's a screenshot :), the screen splits in the middle over 2 monitors

i think the window takes a percentage of the total screensize.. en because mine is 2560*1024, it gets big :D
i can just get the top of the score and the deal button on screen, and i'd have to press F11 to get it in one screen..
so a fixed size would be nice Image

most common screensize is 1024*768, and some people still use 800*600

so if you make it around 700 wide, it fits everywhere :)
