Thanks for letting me know what's happening. It sounds like the cards you posted, it is impossible to remove the 28 cards from the table. I usually try testing with 1,500 shuffled decks and 43 are also impossible. But I will try to confirm another way if they are truly impossible to solve.

I'll also look into figuring out if I can set it up in Turkish or work around the problem another way.

Also, I posted on another youtube comment the following information, which might not be relevant in Turkish:

• You don't have to change your resolution to 1440x900 - if it is something bigger, like 1920x1080, you can leave it alone. My app just wants to resize the Microsoft Solitaire Collection Window to 1440x900 so the screen it must be that size or larger.
• If my app prints "Window size is not 1440x900, maybe the monitor resolution is too small or the scaling factor is not 100%", maybe the scaling percentage is not 100% which you can check in Display Settings:
• Right click the Desktop, select "Display Settings", and under "Scale and Layout" the first thing should be "Change the size of text, apps, and other items." If it's not 100% then my program won't work (because the size and positions of cards will be different than expected).
• If the taskbar is in the way and it can't click the Undo button, you can auto-hide it: right click the taskbar, select "Taskbar settings", and turn on "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode."

I also wanted to add here Stefano Bongini's comment from YouTube: Leaving the resolution to bigger values the mouse still clicks on the themes menu button.

I haven't been able to replicate this issue on my computer yet, but it seems like I might need to do some more investigation into how the automation may not find what it's looking for.

I was able to change the language to Turkish, and I can see the problem is that I am looking for images of words like "OK", "Undo Board", or "Undo last move".

So far, a possible plan for supporting multiple languages may be:

1. To click on "Undo Board", look for the icon or image rather than the text below it (it's an image of three cards with an arrow swooping over them).
2. When the program clicks on "Undo Board" button, a dialog box to confirm (OK/Cancel) may pop up. Right now at this point the program would look for the text "OK", but maybe given that we keep the size consistent and rely on the user having 100% scaling, we can hard code an (X, Y) coordinate to click on the OK button (or "Tamam" in Turkish)
3. The other place a dialog box may show up is when we run out of moves while trying to discover cards in TriPeaks. In English, the dialog box says "No more moves!" and has buttons labeled "OK" and "Undo last move". In Turkish it says "Başka hareket yok!" and buttons labeled "Tamam" and "Son hareketi geri al". We can also hardcode the (X, Y) coordinate to click on to undo the last move.
4. One way to differentiate the two dialog boxes is that they have different card images next to the text - the "Undo Board" dialog box has a yellow exclamation point (a "!") and the "No more moves!" dialog box has a blue letter i. There may be other dialog boxes that reuse these icons but these are the only two my program needs to handle.

However, the bigger problem is that there are now two reports of the program not clicking correctly and people changing their resolution to 1440x900 in an attempt to make it work (where it still doesn't work). I have not figured out this part yet.

[mchung94]

I added a Python script as an alternate implementation of the TriPeaks solver to verify that the game really is impossible - it seems that it is impossible to solve.

I also released version 2.4.0 on the release page which I have tested in Turkish to check that it works now.

I'm still not sure if it solves other problems related to clicking and moving the mouse, but to help, the program now prints a "System Report" showing some things that may help me debug what's going on with the scaling factor.

Maybe I can close this issue out soon and open a new one if people are still having problems with the mouse movement.
