I suspect that you have a non-US version of Chessmaster (since you stated you have a non-US version of Windows). I also assume that you have a German version since the development team tells me that that is the only foreign version that exists. If all of this is true, then the patch will not work for you. The current patch is ONLY for the US version (not the UK version either -- you can tell if you have a UK version if there is no MPlayer support). The team tells me that a patch is in the works for the UK version, and PROBABLY for the German version. Unfortunately, the German version was created in Germany, and the team does not have the code. Therefore, they cannot patch it at this time. jm
