Dear Thorsten:
Believe me I would not write a word about this before trying all to get
CMP7 functioning normally. In fact, many times I really got things done
after hours of work, but that very fact has annoyed me beyond recovery.
>What is your problem with Mchess7?

My problem is this: after I get MCP7 appear in the screen with an
special config, then he ask to recharge and when I push enter the screen
goes black and the system reboot. My CD rom device is OK, etc.
If yopu figure what it is and can give me a fix, great. Neverthelles,
serious, I got tired of this fights. Window is for me now the only path.
