For what it's worth, I'd like to chime in on the deck editing issue: MtG (DotP) had been working just fine on my old Win2K computer for many years. A couple of weeks ago, I installed a new Kensington mouse and the MouseWorks (6.0) software that came with it. Shortly thereafter, I noticed that I was experiencing the problem where "Air Elemental" is the only card displayed in the Deck editor. I poked around in Task Manager until I noticed the two processes "kmw_run.exe" and "KMW_SHOW.exe", obviously related to (K)ensington (M)ouse(W)orks [KMW]. Kill these two processes, and the Deck editor returns to normal. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, there seem to be a wide variety of miscellaneous processes that interfere with the Deck editor. In my case, it just happened to be the Kensington software. My suggestion would be that if you are experiencing this problem, and you've installed any new programs lately, try disabling them one by one and test to see each time if that fixes the problem.

Hi, all - I am running MtG on a Windows 2000 computer. I have the HotU version (yes, I do legitimately own the CD as well!), with all the latest patches installed, and so far, it's working fine with the following issues, all in Shandalar: 1) As someone else reported earlier, the last line of text displayed on certain screens (talking to Wise Man in towns, viewing hints about castles) is not visible except for a tiny fraction of a second when clicking to change screens. Any ideas how to fix this? I have a generic video card built onto the motherboard of my PC, so I don't have any special drivers available. 2) Shandalar.exe itself crashes in the White Castle during some random duel. I haven't yet figured out what any common factor might be, except that it occurs during a duel in the White Castle. I'm curious whether anyone else has seen this or other, very similar problems. 3) The Shandalar window is not resizable even though the non-Shandalar Duel window is. I get the feeling that Shandalar is using an earlier version of the Duel code than the Duel executable itself. Thanks in advance for any constructive suggestions!
