I followed your suggestion and copied the dll files to the Windows directory, I
say file"s" because after I copied mss32.dll to c:\windows there were several
other dll file problems, so I also copied these, I restarted the computer and
the computer stated it saw these files and was going to register them and then
it rebooted.  However, now when I click on the CM6000 icon another window pops
up and says

------
Smacker error

The Mss32.dll file is incorrectly installed in the Windows directory
--------

So now what do I do ??

I sent an email to chessmaster 6000, but I doubt they will return it their
customer service is terrible !
