I was considering buying Fritz (and I probably will later for myself). I bought a copy of Chess Master 7000 for my older son for the personalities, tutorials, kids room, etc instead. We all enjoy using it, including my younger son, who played a four bishops ending against the monkey. There is supposed to be a few video segments, including an intro at startup. I've never seen them. I'm sure I'm not missing anything essential, but I'd still like to see them. Something I read (the readme.txt?) said that the game won't attempt to play the video if my system is not fast enough. I suppose that's possible, but it has an 200MHz Overdrive, a fast voodoo card and 4x cdrom. Is there a way I can force it? There must be an ini file setting or registry entry somewhere telling it not to try the video. It is possible that I did somthing wrong during install. I chose typical with the database remaining on CD. Also I told it not to try to install directX 6.1 as I have 6.2 already and I don't want to take the chance that it would install an older version (as some early games have). Also during quicktime installation I didn't tell it to support multiple streams. I installed the lastest CM7000 patch as of last week (something .6?). Rich
