| 205605 | 2004-01-06 04:06:00 | Hi, I have been playing the above chess game for several years - against 15 odd opponents, at a time- today, after opening and resending succesfully all morning - this afternoon I cannot get the attachment to open. Suddenly two hours later -lo, and behold --It was operating normally, and this, long after I had spent time trying to resolve it, including a fresh downloading of the game, which had not made the slightest difference. Suddenly things went normally- untill after an hour, the same thing happened again. The attachment invites you to open or save, and I can see the save window so that is available, but a split second showing of the hourglass and it goes no further- this has a similarity with Outlook Express which when one tries to open a new program - this same hour glass flashes and is gone- ie the program is already working. The only thing that I have done differently is downloaded "webshot" and installed that. Even after the webshot download- things reverted to normal- what am I missing? effie c |

| 205607 | 2004-01-06 06:46:00 | Hi Godfather, No luck I am afraid- I deleted webshots forthwith as per your "link" and that in itself gives me the dry horrors- so thank you - once a again, if nothing else than for what that link states. Now what can I do about no success anyway? What does not make sense is - without any resetting what so ever - the chess suddenly started to open again- then once again it stopped, inexplicably. If I only knew what to do , I would keep a dozen miles from webshots- the chess just is not slow- it flickers the hourglass and that is it- no matter how long I wait effie c |

| 205608 | 2004-01-06 06:52:00 | Hi GF, what do you know - within ten minutes things worked- it took that long to get the ****** files/ program out by the looks of it. Anyway unless my luck drops out again I will carry on -- and must once again state you are worth your weight in gold! Eddie aka effie c |
