    Majong daily challenge for Feb 3, 4, two puzzles won't open

    Answers to your questions
    Windows 8.1

    HP Envy bought 1/2013 with Windows 8

    Have had a few problems loading Mahjong since beginning.

    Beginning about 1/31, it would stall with the icon twiriling.

    I tried uninstalling, and rebooting. Multiple times

    I upgraded to 8.1

    I had Support.com clean malware and check everything. All OK

    Now, I have completed February 5, but February 4 and 3 I can't do last and first puzzles (I forget which when.) Very frustrating. It will go to the spinning icon, and then go back to start tiles after a while.

    Taptiles problems - we need your help!

    Running Windows 8.1 RT on a MS Surface. Taptiles has been in & out for a few weeks now. Sometimes it's just slow to load, other times I have to try repeatedly, recently it won't load at all, even if I shut down & restart my tablet.

    Generally when I click the Taptiles icon, I get the splash screen & the spinning cursor to indicate it's loading. It will blip out & send me back to the games icon screen. Try again, same thing. This could be repeated until I get frustrated & give up, or
    sometimes I get an error telling me that it can't sign me in to xbox, go to xbox.com & sign in & retry loading. When I do that, it still won't load.

    Strikes me as being a problem w/connecting to the server, but I'm not a techie; just some *** who's addicted to Taptiles :(

    Xbox App Game DVR

    And I tried to open "My Captures" after pressing *Windows* + *G* to open the Game Bar. The mouse icon turned to a loading wheel…….. I never saw any File explorer window popout or anything.

    Not loading Mahjong

    I have been having problems w/the Microsoft Mahjong game. The game won't load so I can't play the game. I looked for

    updated and there was none. I have windows 8 .I did try to download windows 8.1,there was too many problems causing

    virus and bugs. I went to the office store and was told because it's a free download 8.1 there are going to be problems.

    They said I should buy the full version for $299.00.Need help w/Mahjong game still not loading.
