Chessmaster 6000 won't work on XP

[Emily]

Hi,
Does anybody have any problem with Chessmaster 6000 not
working on XP Home?
It used to work perfectly with my old Win 98 but not on
XP. I already tried the compatibility wizard but that
didn't help. When I load the game and ready to start,it
tells me "smartboard can't load"
Can anybody help me how to make this works on XP please?
Thanks.
Emily

hi..!emily..Check the Web site of the program's

manufacturer to see if an update or patch is available.
Check Windows Update to see if a fix is available for the
program. Click Home on the menu bar of Help and Support
Center, then click Windows Update in the right pane.
If the program is a game that uses DirectX, ensure that
you are using the latest version of DirectX. In addition,
check the Web site of the manufacturer of your video card
or sound card to see if newer drivers are available for
either of them.
where are u from?how old are u?

Hi Machemkl,
Thanks for your reply....I run windows update and it
didn't have any drivers in the update so I guess my
drivers are up to date.
I have directX 8 and my video card is Nvidia geforce2
MX/MX 400
I went out and bought Chessmaster 8000 and it works fine
on XP but I like the 6000 best, it has music backgrounds
to it. So why doesn't chessmaster 6000 works?
I'm from the land Down Under Australia, lol what about
you?
