Jon, Have a look @ this article (http://avgclick.me/restorechangesbyAVGPCTuneup).

I ran PC Tuneup for the first time and let it make recommended changes including those to animations. However, I see that the Windows Hearts game now runs without animations. Is there a way to turn animation back on? I am referring to the animation when a card is moved from one pile to another. The animation is instantaneous instead of flowing, so I can't see where the cards go
Thanks, I was able to restore things so that the animations came back.
