194244 2003-11-24 01:33:00 Hi,
Can any one assist in getting my son to operate "That game/chess", since he had to re load it onto a new computer,after his one year old XP computer was stolen - he and I have been playing this game of chess for a long time, and now-- it will download and install- will, open as usual ( as an attachment) - but will not move the pieces on the board.
This game can be maneuvered off line- unlike unlike an other method of chess( postcard)- moves can be tried out and/ or finally be sent next time online.
Everything is as it was in the old computer a ( 40gb h/d, 2.4 mhz.cpu) but literate as he is, in computing, he cannot get it to work.
He has deleted and re downloaded, as always no better results.
I play approximately 35 games at a time with about 15 opponents, and none has had this trouble.

194245 2003-11-24 02:44:00 Effie, only guessing here but if your son has got a new computer with a new copy of Win XP I am wondering if he doesn't have the version that includes Java which the chess game could possibly need? Not sure how he would find out apart from getting Java from the Sun website. Maybe someone else may have something to suggest later. Fire-and-Ice (3910)
