Subject: got Cm 8000 - i am frustrated

Hi,

just got my new Cm 8000. The first i saw. The gui is extremely slow. My Comp is
Athlon 650 with 384 MB Ram. I use Win ME and my Comp/System etc. is installed
good and runs fast. But the gui of CM 8000 ... :-(
Then i saw, pondering is on. Certainly, it slows down the system, but much more
than in Cm 6000 or 7000. Then i tried to turn off pondering. I made a new
personality with turned off Pondering. No effect! If i rerun CM 8000, and use my
new personality, CM ignores and pondering is on!
Then, the time settings. I know there is a bug and a patch will come. But also
if i use time/move , ex. 60 sec per move, CM plays out the moves within 1 or 2
seconds. Is there any Time-setting, which runs???

There are users here, who plays out CM 8000 against other progs. Which time
settings they use. I dont see any, which runs well.

At last, the sound! Only Spoken sounds is running. If i set to other sounds, i
hear nothing!

Sorry but this moment its not nice to use Chessmaster 8000

Hope someone can help me.
