I do have problems with IME2 though not with chessmaster
Though after conecting with the internet with the CM8000 cd inside
The Computer starts searching on the cd.
Which is strange too.
Then again at the moment my computer is verry unsafe
It might be worth a while for the internet police to take a look at my computer.
They will not only find litltle but also very expierinced hackers by doing so.
A trojan automatcly is installed after conecting with the internet
called Residental gateway as in resident evil.
No dll or other files can be found with this name.
The only thing what I know about this file is that it is for Internet sharing
While my network is configured for not sharing
I also can't  find it under network properties
while the icon apears in the network neighbourhood
Maybe someone can help me with this problem too.
In forwards thanks.
