The problem(s) that I said were fixed involved the moves/minutes and seconds/move time controls ONLY. The problem Tina is having has been reported by only one other person (not counting Kevin Harrison, who just posted his problem and is yet to be verified): Fernando Villegas. After working quite a bit with Fernando, I was unable to come up with cause of the problem. So, Tina, if you would contact Fernando and Kevin directly, and find out if there is ANYTHING in common with your two (or three) machines (hardware, software, settings, anything at all!), then please let me know ASAP. I'd really like to nail this one before the patch comes out. jm
