I have the same problem, exactly the same:
ENTRY: Chessmaster.exe
warning wpt0036: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was
               found. No update done since file contents do not match.

This the original version bought and paid for(in denmark):
size 1.51 mb (1.589.273 kb)
23rd october
(english ver.)
Path: c:\programmer\chessmaster 8000

Chessmaster will not make a move, and i would like to be able to run it
with the new patch!!
