Subject: CM8k / Win2k patch bug - all tournaments are vs Chessmaster?

Author: Elizabeth Schwartz

I installed CM 8000 on my old Win2k machine and didn't have a problem, but this
time I'm experiencing a weird bug:

When I use any of the patches (I've tried 101, 102 and 104), all tournaments are
against the Chessmaster! I can select other opponents but when the tournament
starts, the CM appears. And, it does seem to really be the CM.

So far I've tried re-installing, uninstalling, wiping the directory and doing a
clean install. I also checked the registry but only found settings for sound
there. Each time the UN-patched version plays fine but the patched version
doesnt. I have not been installing the anti-CD fix.

This system is running Windows 2000 SP 2

Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix?
It's a drag playing the unpatched version because I get the one-second move
thing.

thanks for any clues
Betsy
