 It's hard to remember that far back, but some of the older engines used to 
 give that error when 
 nothing else matched. The error you're getting just happens to be the first 
 one in the error
 list. It's probably spurious, something else is wrong.

 You could try show stack instead of show window if the stack is already 
 open but hidden. If 
 you're trying to show a stack that is still on disk, Win 7 has much stricter 
 permissions and not 
 all folders are user-accessible any more. Try moving the stack to the 
 Documents folder where you 
 have full access.

I tried your suggestions but to no avail.  I have since installed XP Mode and 
MetaCard runs quite happily inside with no complaints.
