Hey guys, I read this old thread:
http://ntcompatible.com/thread26239-6.html
And following the instructions at DivineNTD's site and using the Microsoft App Compatibility ToolKit 5.0 didn't seem to help my WinXP installation of of the game. It installs fine but then the game still crashes when I'm in the Deck editor as soon as I mouseover any card at the bottom so that it would appear in the card display part of the screen.
The ONLY thing so far that works is to go into the Properties menu of the .exes (Deck, Shandalar, etc) and under the Compatibility tab, check the box for force to 640x480.
Now the problem there is it's so TINY and rather hard on the eyes on my 20" widescreen display.
I WISH I could get it running at 1024x but there's no 'force 800x or 1024x button under the Compatibility tab.
Nothing related to the Screen Resolution tips on NTD's site seemed to help. I tried editing the MagicGatheringFix.rar file in the App Compat Toolkit to change it from 800,600,32 to 1024,768,32 but neither setting works anyway.
Kinda disappointed. I mean I'm glad to get it working at all but I'd really like to get it running at 1024x so it's at least tolerable for more than a couple minutes of eyes-straining 640x. Any ideas?
