"Critical error"?!

"Critical error - file c:\program files\magic workstation\master.mwbase not initialized. Reinstall MWS." = Life hates me, I'm going to die ^_^

Everytime I open MWS, i get that message. So I uninstall and reinstall it. Then I install the gamepack - the cards are there, but the software doesn't recognize any of the cards when I open a deck, and doesn't let me filter the cards (Standard, Extended and so on). When I access the Filter window, I only find the Arkomage set. And when I close and reopen MWS, I get the Critical Error message, and it closes itself without giving me any chance to go on.

So... either someone tell me what to do, or I will kill myself. Your choice XD thnx in advance.

Did you hit CTRL-M to reload the masterbase?

Of course, many times. I think it has something to do with Vista... but the first time around, there was no problem :S

I can't help with Vista, but Vista is responsible for 99% of the trouble with MWS lately. You have to be admin, and you have to delete files in the virtualization folder, etc. etc.

Go to magi-soft.com/forum and search on it.
