The MAForums stack downloads web pages and extracts information from 
them. As such it needs access to Rev's internet library. While I have 
never used DreamCard, from your description it sounds as if the library 
is not part of the DreamCard player installation on your other 
computer. Did you run the DreamCard player installer on the second 
computer, or did you just copy over the Player application? The 
installer is available at <http://downloads.runrev.com/>

I don't use Windows, but I just downloaded the Player installer for Mac 
OS X and it comes with a components folder that contains the internet 
library. (It is part of the stack revlibrary.rev in the 
components/global environment/ folder.) I would expect most stacks to 
fail unless this components folder was in the same folder as the 
DreamCard player application.

If you have the player and it's components installed correctly, then I 
don't know what the problem could be and can only suggest that you 
un-install it, download a fresh copy and try installing again.

Cheers,
