Is this device a Win2K option, or one that is directly related to either your
sound card or your motherboard? Several users who have reported your problem
have gotten around it by shutting down or disabling audio software that was
"taking control" of the sound card and preventing Chessmaster from initializing
audio.

The development team knows about the login bug, but it's still on the back
burner. Hopefully, it will get in for the patch.
