I have a few PGN files and at onetime I could go to a website upload my PGN file and watch the game played out, I am completely unable to do that now, what am I missing, (apart from a brain)

Pgn files are just text files with the moves of the game plus a bunch of descriptive elements describing where and when the game was played, who played, etc.
Any word processing program should be able to open them.

Maybe because there were two black rooks that could take on b7 ?
But cxc7 is a pawn when it is run through to the conclusion here!
