Phil,
Thanks for the thought. What's puzzling is that when I test my stack
I'm careful to do it through a player, i.e. with a copy the MetaCard
program and mctools.mc only, no other supporting files. I then send
the same files together with my stack to my users and it doesn't work
for them!?
It has a certain familiar ring to previous problems I've had with
both an earlier version of Visual Basic (v3) and various versions of
HyperStudio. These turned out to be related to the large variety and
variability of Windows display drivers. The solution that has worked
in the case of HyperStudio was to install DirectX (the free MS games
& multimedia support for Windows). This seems to make the display
system better behaved (more standard). I've suggested this same
course of action to my MetaCard stack users but haven't had a
response from them yet as whether it solved the problem.
Regards,
Peter
