We've just purchased a new PC with Win XP, finally getting rid of our old 486 with Win 95. One of the games we enjoy is Hearts, however on XP there is no way to maximise the window, as the maximise button is greyed out. Is there anyway we can change the size of the Window to make it bigger?
 
Hi Julie,

To make one of the Windows Games such as Hearts larger:

First, copy the game:
Click Start / All Programs / Games
Right click on the Hearts game
Select Properties from the list
Press the "Find Target" button on the next window
Right Click on the highlighted file and select Copy

Next paste the copy to your Desktop:
Right Click on your Desktop
Select Paste from the list

Finally, we'll change the resolution setting for the game:
Right click on the game you just pasted to your Desktop
Select Properties from the list and Click on the Compatibility Tab
Put a check in the box marked "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"

Now whenever you want to play, click on that game on your Desktop and it
will open in full screen mode using the largest Cards and Numbers possible! :-)
