Have you tried loading some of your game scores (.cmg format) recorded with CM6000? Some load OK, others crash the system. But my installation is suspect, so I would like to hear if anybody else has had the same thing happen. I too strongly thought I would return the CM7000 package for a refund but decided to wait awhile. I have 30 days to do so. As someone suggested, they will have to come out with a huge patch to fix CM7000 within a few months if they plan to stay in business. Otherwise the CM7000 CD will make a nice coaster!? In the meantime I reinstalled CM6000, because CM7000 is pretty much worthless to me at this point... --JRM
