I have a registered copy of Napolean Solitaire that gives a
good playing card size on my desktop computer but the
cards are very small on my new notebook, probably since it
has a narrow wide screed. I believe it is using
VBRUN300.dll for the cards but wondering if anyone knows how
to make those cards larger - perhaps an updated version of
the file. Thanks

Perhaps the makers of the application itself can help you.

You are semi-correct when you assume it is the screen - it is more likely
the resolution the screen is at.. And in many solitaire games - without
changing the resolution - there is no way to change the size of the card...
disappointing actually.

Thanks - I have sent a note to Pretty Good Solitaire about
the problem. Other card games come up a good size but I
will play with the resolution per your suggestion.
