David,

I can get it to run under XP but there are issues.  First, the thematic or
spoken sound does not work. Simple sounds will work. The "copy contents" option
from the thinking lines analysis screen that is supposed to go to the windows
clipboard does not work. When I attempt to paste I get nothing or some garbage.
I sometimes get crashes too but I run it with the Win98 modifier in the
properties of the icon used to invoke the program from the desktop.  That seemed
to help a little and my crashes are less frequent now.

John Merlino is aware of these issues and I'm assuming that CM9000 will not have
these problems as it is supposed to be XP compatible.

Some people say it works fine under XP in all regards.  Some can't get it to
work at all.  I have the problems listed above.

Steve
