Hi,
I see from the system requirements of Chessmaster 9000 that Windoze
2000 is not supported. Has anyone tried to run it under Windoze 2000?
I wonder if it just will never work, or they choose not to support it.

My PC is rather an odd device, in that its a card that sits inside a
UNIX workstation. It relatively easy to set up other operating
systems, but I'd rather not if possible.

It works fine under Windows 2000.

Well you did better than me then, as I can't get it to work under
Windoze 2000 Professional.

I bought a copy of Chessmaster 9000 but can't install it, since when
setup.exe is run, it says to insert the correct CD. Yet I'm running
from the CD #1, so not sure what more I can do. I might try copying
the CD's contents to disk and running it from disk while leaving the
CD in the drive.

One possible issue is that my PC is not quite that conventional. The
computer is a quad processor Sun, with PCi slots. Into one of those
slots is a PCi board which has a complete x86 PC on it (766 MHz
Celeron, 1 GB RAM). The CD-ROM used by this PC is actually on the Sun,
but the software that Sun provide makes it look like a normal CD-ROM
on D:\ to applications.
If I set autorun to run, it comes up with a view of a 3D chessboard
and shows an install and Quit buttons, but as soon as I hit install,
it tells me to insert the CD.

So far, CM9000 is the first Windoze application I've been unable to
install on this machine.

Fortunately installing multiple operating systems on this PC is quite
easy, so I'll try that.
