Just noodling around on the Maptools forums and saw this:

So, that should help those of you having serious issues. Also note, with DN's framework, you need to set stacks to 4.
On a side note, which version of the Framework are we using and is there a new version somewhere?

MapTool 1.3 build 87 lacks support for JAVA 7 at this point. Since that has become the default download, there have been many more error reports with the same information and solution. Here are the steps you can take to make sure you're using the correct version for MapTool.
Download the correct 32/64bit version of Java 6.35 for your system.
Install on to your computer.
Edit the mt.cfg file changing the JVM line. Make sure you're using the correct drive letter and file location for your install. These are the most common settings:
Code:
MAXMEM=1024
MINMEM=64
STACKSIZE=3
JVM=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw
PROMPT=false
Start MapTool with "MapToolLauncher.exe"
Verify your java version in b87 through the Help menu and the "Gather Debug Information" option. The java version will be displayed under Java Information.
And for the new people, there is still a bug with the Init Panel and "lock movement". Make sure to have this unchecked and clear your initiative panel.
These problems were fixed in build 88, but other bugs were generated that were more troublesome. Note that you can use both Java 7 and 6 on the same system. You just need to tell MapTool where to look. Thanks for your patience and I expect this will be resolved in the near future.
