I can only comment on this last problem. I'm pretty sure that you are having a
problem that is mentioned in the CM9000 ReadMe:

16. Chessmaster may have visual problems if you have "Large Fonts" selected in
your video properties. If text in menus and dialogs appears "wrong" to you, or
some text or buttons appears to extend past the boundaries of a window, you
might check to see if you have "Large Fonts" selected, and change it to the
Windows default setting, which is "Small Fonts". You can check this setting by
going to "Control Panel -> Display -> Settings Tab" and pressing the "Advanced"
button. There will be a combobox entitled "Font Size", where you can see your
system's current setting.

If that does not describe your problem, then please feel free to send me a
screenshot.
