If both of those files are there, then they may be damaged. If they aren't there (or are possibly damaged), you can either copy those two files from your Chessmaster CD or (if you aren't comfortable with that), uninstall and re-install the program. As for the second problem, the other post's comment was correct, assuming you are attempting to play a rated game against a GM personality. If you have the "US" version, just download the 1.0.3 patch from www.chessmaster.com. You can tell if you have a "US" version if there is a "AT&T Technical Support" menuitem in the "Help" menu. If that's not there, then you're out of luck. If you are trying to play against one of the "human" personalities, then I would think that perhaps OTHER files in your folder are damaged, and would definitely recommend a re-install. jm
