You can't "just simply install it like any other program" because it isn't
like any other program - it's a "feature" of an OS, not a separate game that
you can just nip into Woolworth's and buy.
Best I can offer is: on the Vista machine, find out where the Solitaire
shortcut points to. Copy that file to the XP machine and see if it runs. I
doubt it will, but give it a try. If it throws up an error message about a
file being missing, find that on the Vista machine and copy that across too.
Repeat as necessary; if it still doesn't work, look for likely-named files
that could help. Bit of trial and error, like. Pioneering spirit, that sort
of thing. Just don't *overwrite* any XP files with the same name - try a
separate, new folder if necessary.
Or, of course, do some research on the Web, eg via Google. I just did, and
there seem to be a couple of hacks out there that might do you.
