Hello Steve,
Well if it do not pop up again after re-install ,contact Millennium
Because i think there is build in a "save" so u can not send the file to other persons and then they can use it
But that is mine guess

I think you are correct. Millennium probably don't want people to see the book files. They told me in an e-mail that it's a propriety book format and easy to make mistakes which would stop the MCGE from working.

re-install did not fix the problem
Still no books
you were able to install all 7 books..one at a time...or there is only 1 book to download at this time(Gambit book)?
Never Release An Update Late On Friday Regards

Hello Steve,
Yes as i Test it , i was able to upload all the 7 books
But u can only use 1 Book at the time ,so if u have download Gambit book > User Book then the Gambit Book is loaded
If u desire to use Spanish Book , u must upload this Book ,so the Spanish is in user Book ,then the Gambit Book is out/gone
Same step every time for this ,so 1 Book can be loaded and not 7 at the same time ore 2

i tried another idea...
i unplugged the unit from the power supply ..i thought perhaps it would be like re-booting a PC..and the unit was not recognizing the new firmware
that also did not work
since the books are being downloaded each time form the Millennium server ..now i am guessing that their severs are down for the weekend and thats why i cant download the books
anyway..i sent off an Email to the same person that helped me with the PGN program which was also not working correctly when they first released it
they fixed that bug so hopefully when they return to work tommorow morning they will contact me
Playing with No Books Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,
You might be right about their Server, I haven’t downloaded the PGN tool yet, so I went to site:
https://translate.google.com/translate? ... -exclusive
and tried to download that, I get:
Not Found
The requested URL /Firmware/M820 ChessGeniusExclusive_Manual_PGN_Tool_WIN_English.pdf was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I’ll retry tomorrow. I’ve downloaded the new CGX tool but am struggling to find my Chess Genius Exclusive. A big tidy up of upstairs required tomorrow too!
Cheers,
Al.

Opening Book Issues
Steve and Al - I have had the same experience that you described trying to download the Opening Books. The updated firmware downloaded to my Exclusive with no problems. However, the "Available Books" line in the CGX tool is gray and can not be selected. I tried turning off (and unplugging) the Exclusive from the power outlet. I also disconnected and then re-connected the MCGE from/to my PC and I restarted the CGX software tool. No luck.Steve B wrote:Yup thats the same screen i get
Thanks Al...
Misery Loves Company Regards
Steve
Since the firmware update worked flawlessly I was fully expecting the Opening Books download to go without incident too.
Millennium update coming soon?
