Chess Titans bug
Hi, For starters, if this is in the wrong place or it would be better suited somewhere else, I apoligize profusely. Chess Titans has been working fine for me for the two weeks that I've owned Vista, but as I was playing a round of the game, an enemy pawn made an illegal move. What happened is I moved my pawn from G7 to G5, and there was an enemy pawn at H5. Then on the CPU's turn...

Chess Titans
In Chess Titans, Shouldnt the game be counted as a win when your opponent cant move any piece rather then making the game a draw? Ofc, im not that familiar with the actual chess rules but it would seem to me that if you manage to box in your opponent so he cant move it should be counted as a win. -- Sorken...

I'm considering buying a widescreen monitor. There seems to be only two resolutions available for the size of monitor that I'm after. These resolutions, while I understand are simply naitive, are also obnoxiously high and some of my games that I play run in lower, non-widescreen resolutions. Who here plays games that are older and run in SVGA resolutions on one of these newer 1400x900...

Basically it needs administrator privleges and some extra compaibility beyond the basics. Due to its inability to handle modern processors there are extra steps as well. Here are my steps: 1 - Install the game as normal (note that it appears in the Game ...
