It saves it as a CMG over and over and over. Remember though, I analyzed the game too. So therefore; I saved it as CMG, closed CM, opened it later, brought the game up, analyzed it, then tried to save it as a pgn. And it just saves it as a CMG over and over. I am using Windows 2000, so perhaps someone with Win2k could reproduce the error. It was a 34 move game, so I just entered it manually into Junior, no big deal. Thanks for responding though! :) Slate
