Subject: Finally! Powerchess98 in Windows98 :-)

Hi,

In fact that was RebelXP (which is great! Thanks, Ed.), which "persuaded" me to
install Windows 98 again. When I did that, I somehow came over my old and
well-forgotten CD of Powerchess98. I installed it and it crashed soon after I
played the King (as expected). Patches fixed nothing and program kept crashing
itself and Windows as well... Sounds familiar?

BUT it looks I have found the work-around for this problem:

1) Install the Powerchess98.
2) FORGET the shortcuts it makes!
3) Forget about patches as well.
4) Run the Autoplay.exe from CD and chose Run.

I have played 5 games now, and I still have to see a crash. I do not know what
difference is there - is it running the program from CD and just saving games in
installation directory or what -, but it runs (even now,in background while I
write this message)!

Have a great chess!
