Look on your Windows diskettes for the file EXPAND.EXE and copy it
to some convenient place on your hard disk.  Then find the file
CHESS.BMP on the floppies.  With appropriate directory data, issue the 
command:

  expand  a:chess.bmp  c:\windows\chess.bmp

As a check, the file on the distribution disk should be 28866 bytes,
and the resulting file in the Windows directory 153718 bytes.

You might also consider changing your local vendor if that's the
support you're getting.
