Hi every body,
there is a while I am to try to find a solution to this crazy problem!
Of course it is not very important, but it's just to have it working
and
I already put some append in forum without finding solution!
What I want : a portable application to play every games on the web
(Windows XP PC) without
to have to install something! For exemple on machines running "sweet"
XP, etc...
where the internet games are not installed.
Who can help me and tell me what are the necessary modules?
Actually I cannot play all the "standards" games on the web
(backgamon, hearts, spades,
reversi, etc...) and for each of them when I try to start I got the
same error message
=============
"Hearts cannot start. Close some programs and try again or try to
install again ...."
=============
Here is a list of the minimum modules:
=============
bckg.dll
bckgres.dll
bckgzm.exe
chkr.dll
chkrres.dll
chkrzm.exe
Cmnclim.dll
Cmnresm.dll
hrtz.dll
Hrtzres.dll
hrtzzm.exe
rvse.dll
Rvseres.dll
Rvsezm.exe
shvl.dll
Shvlres.dll
shvlzm.exe
UniAnsi.dll
zClientm.exe
ZCorem.dll
zeeverm.dll
ZNetM.dll
zoneclim.dll

=============
But of course some is missing as it does not work"as is"!

Hi jlcollet.DeleteThis@free.fr,
Here's a few causes for Spider, Solitaire, Free Cell, etc., failing.
This list was originally started by +Elmo_Tech
- Free Cell was locking up until, by reading a message on this Newsgroup,
I turned off IMGICON.EXE on the Start Menu (Control/Alt/Delete).
By instruction from Iomega, after trying updated download for the Iomega
Zip drive, I did a search for IMGICON.EXE and deleted it. It works now.
- Press Ctrl/Alt-Delete, click Point32 to highlight, and click End Task.
You may lose mouse acceleration and scrolling selections till you reboot.
- Reinstall the game(s): Windows XP:
Click START / Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs / Add Remove
Windows Components / Accessories and Utilities / [Details...] / Games /
[Details...] / pick your games / Click [OK] 3 times. May require XP CD.
To Install or Uninstall Windows 9x Games:
Click START / Settings / Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs /
Click on the Windows Setup tab and double-click Accessories.
Check the box beside Games, then click OK / click OK again.
You'll need your Windows 98 Setup CD to complete the installation
unless the win98 .cab files directory was saved on your hard drive.
To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
"Have you also installed McAfee VirusScan's latest version?
Malfunctioning in Freecell and Solitaire is a known problem for them, and
they suggest a solution on their site."
* Did you just install a Windows Update before this problem started?
Perhaps the update didn't install properly. Remove the most recent update
(the one(s) with the largest KB numbers) and try the game again before
you reinstall the update with your antivirus software disabled.
- AVG does the same thing.. Disable before you start the game.
- Slow Spider Solitaire: "If I open "Start",and then "Help" Spider Solitaire
works fine. That is I must run "Help" while I'm playing Spider Solitaire."
- Pop Up stoppers.
- Cookie Crushers.
- rundll (use Control Alt Delete to open Task Manager to end this task)
- PGP - Pretty Good Protection software.
- Mouse pointers.. Use default, or less-active pointers.
- Internet Explorer 6.
- Iomega zipdisk program conflict with IE6. An article:
"..a post on here a couple of weeks ago that suggested that this has to
do with a Iomega Zip disk file that you have running. IMGICON.EXE This
is loaded from the StartUp folder as Zip Disk Icons. (or it was on my
PC) Hit Ctrl - Alt - Del and see if it's running."

Ok, I know this is an old thread, but I was searching the internet and
found this, and then later fixed the problem. I will post what I did
here so that others can find it.
First let me say I went from XP MCE to a TinyXP Pro. I'm not sure
which versions of XP have the internet games by default, maybe all stock
ones have it, but either way here's what I did.
First, try to install it from add/remove programs in the control panel.
In games there's a separate entry for Internet Games, which for me says
it's 8.5 megs. However, I did not have that at all at first, I had to
add it. As said above you need all the C:\Program Files\MSN Gaming
Zone\Windows\ files, but you also need these files:
C:\WINDOWS\inf\IGAMES.INF
C:\WINDOWS\Help\*.chm
C:\WINDOWS\system32\zoneoc.dll
Then you need to edit this file:
C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf
Add this line:
[Components]
...
MSWordPad=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wordpad.inf,HIDE,7
ZoneGames=zoneoc.dll,ZoneSetupProc,igames.inf,,7 <- ***Add this***
TabletPC=tabletoc.dll,TabletSetupProc,Tabletpc.inf,HIDE,7
You only need to add the ZoneGames line, I put the others in there just
to give context. Once you've done this you may need to restart, but it
should list Internet Games now in Add/Remove programs. All you have to
do is install it from there.
I copied all the files directly from another XP machine I have in my
house, no need to edit anything (except for sysoc.inf which you already
have on your PC, don't replace yours with another one). If you don't
have the files I put them all in a zip here:
EDIT:
Oh yeah, to help searching here is the exact error I'd get if I just
tried coping over the .exes and running them:
"Hearts is unable to start, close some other programs and try again or
try reinstalling checkers using the add/remove programs."

Just wanted to say THANK YOU that sweetheart, lifesaver Dale Swanson!!!
I was looking all over every other month, wks at a time 4 this file. I
just knew somebody had to have put it up. On my thinkpad I lost some
files from a heavy duty cleaning software I used & uninstalled, later
realizing my games was gone. But here on my desktop, I noticed nothing
was in my MSN Gaming Zone\Windows\ files (blank folder) and everytime I
tried 2 play my fav spades (only hearts worked), a window came up giving
me the same problem everybody in postings above had. I replaced Dales w/
my own and now everything works but the Spades =( the one I want...and
the pinball is over in the Service Pack i386 file and that says the
wavemix.inf file is missing. Everything wasworking up until I used that
ATF cleaner & took the SP3 update. Anyway now I have to figure out what
Dale mean by "edit a file", but I jus wanted him 2 know his file came in
handy...if he ever comes back 2 check his post!! Good looking out =)

Hi, Dale. (or anyone else that may see this reply)
I was wondering if you would possibly be able to repost the zip of
those MSN Internet game files. I had Windows XP Pro on my old computer.
And, have recently acquired a newer and faster computer. It has
Windows XP on it, but I have tried to download the games files from the
'add remove windows components" but it does not give me an option to
download the MSN internet games (like reversi, checkers, etc). I tried
downloading off the XP disk I received, but they ar not on ther. I have
searched online HOPING that someone had them posted somewhere, but have
not been able to locate the files I can download.
Thank you for your help! It is greatly appreciated.
Regards
