No it's not, there is a LINK to E-League's site, not the patch itself. Unless I missed something.

I haven't had any problem getting on the CPA for months now, so maybe it's your connection/ISP/computer or something.

On Apprentice, does anyone (I'm guessing not) get a "read error, trying to read from a protected area <bunch of hex numbers>"? I installed it and opened it and it worked fine. Closed it, came back another day and tried to open it and got the above error. Uninstalled it, re-installed it and it worked once. Then same problem. Uninstalled it and re-installed it and now it's not coming up at all. What a pain...

I've noticed during uninstalling that not all the files are removed from the directory. I don't think THOSE are a problem (it's the Deck folder and stuff) but it makes me wonder if some "hidden" files (like .dlls) are not getting removed. Any suggestions?

Just delete the main apprentice folder when you uninstall, the uninstaller doesn't remove a lot of stuff in the apprentice folder even tought it should.

Uninstall
Delete Folder
Reinstall

Try that.

Well, I tried all that Darsh suggested and re-installed it and this time the little thing on the bottom bar came up saying Apprentice was running but it didn't actually make it to my screen (does that make sense?). So I started running MS-DOS to see if I could run it from there and then the screen flickered and switched to Apprentice! Weird... so now I have it running.

Question: Once you connect to the host, what happens next? My screen said 'Waiting for opponent to finish setting up' and my OK button was grayed out. Yet my opponent had the same message (don't know if her OK button was grayed out). What happens after you connect? Who takes the initiative?

yeah, that's what it sounds like. and spiderman, delete the folder that has just cardinfo.dat in it. then unzipp the update to the main apprentice folder. that usually works well

If you can Spiderman, just keep the apprentice.exe and all the magic expansions on your hard drive.(then you won't have to download the entire thing when it messes up again:()

We connected okay; I was waiting for call and Whimsy called me. I got her stuff at the bottom of my screen (Whimsy, 20 life, 0 cards). But after we connected, my screen went back to the place where you can load a deck, choose your life and cards in hand, and select whether you want a solitaire or internet game and my OK button was grayed out. That's what I'm talking about. I guess we can figure it out when we get connected, Griffy.

Oh, and believe me, Darsh, I have the Apprentice download and updates on my hard drive; I don't EVER delete them. It's too much of a pain to keep downloading them. ;)
