Whenever I try to load a deck onto magic league to join a tournament like T2 it nevers finds the deck. Its there when I pplay but not when I try to enter a tournament. I have windows vista if its a bug or something.

PLZ HELP!

I don't remember the steps you need to take, but something about the files being under private user. All you need is to make the files public, as copy-pasting your deck folder onto your desktop or something. Someone else should confirm this, but you can try it without being worried about your files.

Try closing mws, sometimes that helps. Otherwise make a folder on your desktop called Decks and then goto File> Save deck as, and save it to that folder

well I save all my decks right to the mws file and not the deck file.

When I go to my computer it doesn't show the decks but when I press compatibility files it shoes the decks.

put your decks into a public folder on your desktop should make it work

I had the same problem. I went into the folder and clicked on Compatibility Files near the top. It goes to all the decks. Just cut and paste those into the normal file

maybe you are just doing it wrong

i have never had a problem loading anything.

it's not vista, it's the user

I confirm it's vista the problem. The "user control" hides directory, files, and does so many things "for security" that's XP doesn't. Is there anybody who know how to desactivate this "vista control" on a particulary directory ?

It's not vista, it is not the user, it is mws (and other programs that don't deal with the way vista hands out permissions). A program that is working with vista the right way, will look for the files in the proper places, like the user folders, and it will install expansions the way you want it.
The easiest way to work around it, is installing mws and other programs to your personal folders. Just create a folder program files, and install the mws folders there. All problems should be over.

Yes, you can also fiddle around with user control options and such, but that is for advanced users, and may compromise the security of your system, and that can be very important when the system is used by multiple users.

It is vista.

I found where my decks, game logs, and masterbase hide.

When I load a new set from text, I have to do the most complicated thing.

File, open library, go back to c, then go through users, onlainari, appdata etc, to find the master base.

Then create a new deck and add some cards and save (ctrl s) it.

Then i load the spoiler from text file. Then I add some cards to my deck, then press the red x button to close the workstation. It says do i want to save, I say yes. This is a difference save to ctrl s, that's why you have to do it this way.

When you load it again the library will only be the cards you had in the deck, find the master base again in virtual store and load that, ctrl s, and exit.
