I have the above software which I installed on Windows 8.1. The board is fine, but no pieces, so I can't play. Will I fare better with Windows 7? Can anybody help, please?

Answer by Stephen Prastman

You have issues with the application because it wasn't developed to run on Windows versions higher than Vista. I have checked the official website and the only versions of Windows where you can install the application are Windows XP, Vista, 2000, and 98. There is nothing mentioned about Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.


In Windows 8.1, right click the installer or the executable file and select Properties > Compatibility. Choose Windows Vista from the list and then tick the Run as Administrator option.
