Note that older video cards may not support some enhanced 3D features such as reflections, shadows, and/or bump mapping. And from CM9000 ReadMe file: -- The following video cards are known to have problems with certain True3D features in Chessmaster 9000: TNT I (16MB) -- Shadows are not supported. ATI Expert 2000 Pro (32MB) -- Shadows and reflections are not supported. ATI Expert 128 (16MB) -- This card has significant problems. If you have this card, you may not be able to use True3D boards and pieces. Matrox G550, G450 and G400 (all 32MB) -- Shadows are not supported. Matrox G200 (16MB) -- This card has significant problems. If you have this card, you may not be able to use True3D boards and pieces. Hope this helps... Brian
