Hello Eric,
I don't own Nimzo7.32 and I don't intend to purchase it but I believe you must
have something set up wrong.  It evidently does not have access to it's 3/4 man
tablebases.  In this day of tablebases, I suspect some programmers will remove
the basic endgame stuff like that because the tablebases will take care of it.
So, check your setup and make sure it knows where the tablebases are located.
