I'm pissed off! Haven't been able to resolve my problem with my chess programs crashing!! I took my computer back to the technician who installed the Chip and he insists that it is a sofware problem. This just does not make sense to my limited computer knowledge, the only change I have had was going from an athlon 550 to a slotA athlon850. I absolutely get no error messages when running other programs. The only time I get a error message is when I allow my chess programs to think on a problem or when playing a game. The error will not come up if I do not actually make the engine work? My brain tells me if the only change i made to my computer is the new chip, then it is logical to assume the chip is the problem? I had absolutely no problems running chess programs with my old athlon 550, with no error messages ever!! Is it possible that the technician simply does not want to admitt he made an error in the installation? One would think if you pay good money for a piece of hardware the technician would have the decency to atleast fix the problem if something goes wrong? But such is the state of customer service in 2001 America. It does not matter if I use a windows chess program or a Dos program, my system will crash in 15 min with various error message such as with fritz6 "Fritz6 has caused an error in mfc2dll fritz6 will now close, if you continue to experence problems try restarting your computer". or in the Case of Rebel "An exception oe has occured at 0028:cool fab in vxd--- This was called from 0028:cool2b33 in VXD It may be possible to continue naturally". Or with schedder the error message will read Comment has caused an error in comment.exe comment will now close. I am currently using Windows Me, I have reinstalled all my programs just to have the problem repeat itself. Could someone Please help with any suggestions whatever. I got a few responses before but unfortunately did not save the information.
