After rebuilding a few PC's lately, I heard
from the users that FreeCell was not displaying properly. These systems have
Windows98 SE (Upgrade CD) installed and
a Matrox MGA Mystique (PCI - 2MB) video
card. When FreeCell loads the initial screen
looks okay but as soon as you start a new
game that all changes. The cards are not
recognizable and seem compressed, or badly
distorted whichever way you look at it.
I have tried different drivers and resolution
settings but to no avail.

Already tried adding/removing via Wdws
setup tab, and have tried a wide range
of color and resolution settings but
still the problem persists.

Have you tried to take a good copy of the cards.dll and put it on the pc.

Turned out to be McAfee's Vshield program. They just released Service Pack 1 for version 4.5.1 which corrects this problem. Freecell now runs just fine.
