I too had a problem loading the program after the Dec 2011 update. I contacted Astraware and they gave me the following work-around which solved the problem for me - maybe it will also help others:
-turn the Nook completely off
-remove the SD memory card
-turn the Nook on, wait for everything to load, then open Solitaire
-if it comes up ok (mine did), then it's ok to put the SD card back in.
btw - I received the solution from Astraware within just a few minutes of emailing my question - so my 5star rating stands - enjoyable program with quick and accurate technical support

This is a really good set of solitaire apps. Totally worth $5, maybe more, if you suspect you'll play it a lot.
Almost every game is customizeable. For intance, Spider can be 1,2 or 4 suits, you can allow any card to start a new tableau, or just kings. You can be allowed to move any pile of cards, or just cards in sequence, or just cards in sequence with matching suits.
You can learn almost any game by turning on "Highlight useful moves", which will show you which cards are legitimate moves. It'll generally move them for you when you tap, and the moves are rarely wrong, and you can always undo and move manually if you want to. There's an AI which will warn you when you've reached a dead end, it seems to be accurate (except for Spider, the AI doesn't seem to consider the usefulness of moving cards in mixed-suit in-sequence piles onto new tableaux to straighten out the suits, but if this happens, you know that you have almost won)
Occasionally, you'll break away, and come back to see that the card backs are white. Renavigating to the Apps screen and reopening it fixes that. And some of the navigation buttons to tap are in the corners of the screen, where sensitivity seems poor on the Nook. I've had it crash maybe twice in several months, and I play it a lot. Powering down and back on fixed it. But really, that's the absolute worst problems I've had with this app, and those are pretty minor problems.

Love this app. Yes I needed to remove my sd card after the update and reboot but no big deal. Astraware has always been helpful with the very few glitches I have ever had with any of their games. I love this one and the Mahjong too.

This game was expensive but functional and enjoyable. After an update, however, it has stopped working completely. Totally inexcusable, I can't believe a "professional" software developer would let something like this happen. If I could rate it zero stars, I would.

This app worked fine until I updated it, now it won't load at all. I have archived and unarchived and it still won't work. I will definitely be contacting the developer because this is the 2nd game of theirs that has stopped working after an update.

Lots of good games that are all very costomizable. The graphics can be slow - but it doesn't hurt game play. I love it!

This has been my favorite game since I purchased it several months ago. Now with the "new" upgrade I cannot get it to open. I have archived, unarchived, deleted, even repurchased! Cannot get it to open now and very sad. My favorite solitaire game is unable. Now what? Please help!! This used be 5 star, but now unratable. :(

I had to go thru 2 Nook tablets to finally figure out that this app makes the Nook crash. The screen turns off in the middle of a game,, a book, etc. and then it's difficult to get it to come back on. When it does come back up, this app shows a message that it had a error and asks if you want to "continue" or "reset to the default settings". If you choose to reset, you lose all of the "trophy" cards that you had won thus far. I loved the games, but want my money back since it doesn't seem to be compatible with the Nook.

We have had Astraware games on Palm and Windows devices for a while so I was sure their Solitaire game would be stable and fully functional on the Nook Color. I am not disappointed! I like the ability to change backgrounds and difficulty level of each game. In fact, you can set the number of suites to play and how cards are to be placed. Color is very good and the cards are readable and easy to "move" during game play. This is likely the only Solitaire collection you will ever want. It is worth more than the $4.99 being charged at the Nook App Store.
