I am also having the same problem where I install off my cd, and it doesn't even register that it has been installed. I autoplay my cd and the only option it gives me is to install again. But it went through the install before with, seemingly, no problem. I double-click the magic.exe and it hits the task manager process list for a second, then it is gone. And I get the same error message as dougymac88 when I try to run the deck.exe: "Winmain: Couldn't create the palette"
I have tried changing the compatibility, but nothing seems to work. Maybe I need the registry setup. Does anyone have that .reg file?
Thanks for the help!
