MWS Trouble

I've been having a problem with MWS recently that has never happened before.

Whenever i press ctrl + i to connect to opponent i always get this pop-up instead of the normal one..:

If i "load deck" it gives me an error message which reads as follows:
"Load deck error: Invalid file format."

The deck is saved as a .mwDeck file and I've tried renaming it, changing cards around, and have uninstalling and reinstalling MWS and nothing has worked so far.

I have no idea why or how this began happening and it's pretty frustrating. If you can help or have ideas please list below.

you most likely screwed up when adding a set, ect. to MWS.

the easiest way to fix this is simply to uninstall and reinstall to a brand new directory. example: c:\magic workstation instead of c:\program files\magic workstation. (i recommend this unless u actually know something about computers, unlike me)

you also could uninstall and use something like regedit to remove the crap in the registry that has mws want to load your previous settings i.e. the crap that's currently boning you. (recommended if and only if you know what you're doing)

in the future be careful about the way in which you update and add stuff to mws. it eats failure for breakfast
