[Reply or follow-up to this message] Microsoft Hearts Network XP fix Monday, March 31, 2003 at 2:05 pm Posted by trumpetlips (3 messages posted) I fixed this problem by downloading hearts from the following link and copying it to my windows directory and making a seperate shorcut to msheart.exe called "Original Hearts." Then when connecting to another computer, click the browse button. Wait until the computer you wish to connect to comes up and select it. You should be up and running.

Sometimes it doesn't connect when I choose 'browse' also but will connect when I type in the name. For some reason I can never connect to the xp machine with my 98 or 95 machines, so make sure you have the 95 or 98 machine be the dealer.

I am trying it between two XP machines. So I downloaded the old hearts version from the previously posted link, did all the other fixes and tweaks, plus I used computer names instead of user IDs. I receive the error message "Unable to connect with dealer. Hearts will end." Any other suggestions?

I will install the NetBeui protocol under Windows XP, following the instructions on microsoft article 301401. I hope that it will work, because MSHearts uses Netbeui protocol to comunicate with other players. In case of success, I will be here to say everything.

How about we all contact Microsoft and just ask them to update this classic game?!!! It's better than any of the duded up ones. Talk about annoyances.....MS itself is on top because of stuff like this. On Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at 5:57 am, shaun wrote: >Has any one got any answers?

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Microsoft Hearts Network XP fix Thursday, July 20, 2006 at 7:21 pm Posted by Bud Crain (1 messages posted) The solutions listed above to play MS Hearts on an XP LAN WILL work at least as long as one W2k (or W98/95) box is in the mix. (1) Download MSHEARTS zip file and extract the it to the XP Windows folder and W2k WINNT folder. (2) On any XP boxes set Win 95 Compatibility Mode for the MSHEARTS.exe file (3) On any XP boxes run services.msc and set Network DDE and Network DDE DSDM to Manual start (XP SP2 disables these services which are REQUIRED for 16-bit LAN MSHEARTs.) (4) Create a convenient shortcut to the MSHEARTS.exe for any XP or W2k boxes from the desktop or start menu (5) Before attempting to play, run services.msc on all XP and W2k boxes and Start the Network DDE service (Network DDE DSDM will also be automatically started). (6) Use a W2k (or W98/95) box as server - i.e. start it first and select "I want to be dealer" - the game should be waiting for other players to join. (7) The other players should select "join another game" and browse for the dealer - note that the dealer is selected by the COMPUTER name NOT the player's . (8) Once the other players have joined their player names should be displayed on the board and the dealer must press F2 to start the play. Only two real bugs: there must be at least one W2k or W98/95 box in the mix to be server and the animation was timed for SLOWER W3.1 systems and is way too fast. Also since XP SP2 turned off Network DDE services as a security measure, its probably a good idea to disable it and Network DDE DSDM after play if you are on a highspeed always on connection to the internet.

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Microsoft Hearts Network XP fix Friday, June 15, 2007 at 7:08 am Posted by Jerry (4 messages posted) I followed all the instructions for the 2 posts that called for the starting of NetDDE and it's companion NetDDEdsdm and just as I was about to complain, there it worked! I changed my startup type to Automatic on both just before it worked as on manual it erred out. It is possible it just takes more than a few seconds to actually work. Just as mentioned above, the Win95/98 machine must be the dealer. Even with logon credentials I could not get it to work in reverse. Hey!, I'm happy! Thanks!
