Hi....

( Solitaire game mentioned is Pysol-4.41 ) .

A: I have (2) PC;s. I boot up one of them. I then highlight the
game, and drop/drag it to a USB External HDD. That's simple enough!
I check it and there it is on the External HDD. Yippee!

B: Then, I shut down that Ist PC, and boot up the other one. I then
transfer the External USB HDD to the newly booted PC.

C: From 'My Computer', of the second PC, I drag/drop that game
from the External HDD into MY DOCUMENTS. I now have the game on both
PC's! Yeah!!

But the Solitaire game on the second PC, REFUSES to boot .no matter
which directory I put it into! I've tired at least six differnt
targets. What's worse, it will not boot from the USB External HDD
either.!!!

You cannot just move the program files to another computer. You need to
install it from the installation media - either a cd or an executable
that you downloaded from the Internet.
