Thanks for trying to help, but 9 days ago I found out that I had four
MFC42.DLL by doing a search on these four directories C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
C:\WINDOWS\aolshares\sysinfo  and two other directories and they were all
different versions, but at that time I replaced all others MFC42.DLL with the
latest Version found under C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM which is version 6.0.8665.0 last
modified by Microsoft on 6/8/2000 5:00 PM. I also placed the latest MFC42.DLL
in the C:\programs Files\Chessbase\Nimzo 8 directory just in case it wanted to
load that one first, but so far nothing has worked.

PS: Unless it only works with the previous version of Windows 2nd Edition
mfc42.dll, but I don't longer have this version.
