And rather inexpensive, about 20 $.
Hmm, I'm not sure what to suggest. You could try to find a substitute program like the others have suggested.
If you want to invest some effort in finding a copy of Chess Captor, a couple of shareware distributors are still offering demos of version 2.25. (Apparently, the demos are crippled versions.)

But the fact that the author's web domain has expired would make me a little leery of things. Is the guy still in business? Who knows?
Also, here's a link to some archived web pages. If you pick one of the archived web pages and go to the support page, you'll find an e-mail address that you could try just to see if the guy responds. If he does respond, maybe he could let you know what's going on and whether the program is still available.
