But IMO it´s really crazy to use spaces or dots within a program name (under Windows), and so I automatically renamed this file to ´Crafty.exe´ before installing it - that´s why I had no problems. So simply rename it to e.g. ´Crafty931.exe´ or ´Crafty_931.exe´, and you´ll have no problems to start and run it under Arena. The second (and more serious) problem I´ve found is, that this Crafty version stays in memory after closing the engine (or even closing Arena) - so you´ll have to remove it (Winoldap) manually by the TaskManager! :-( But I don´t really understand, why anyone would like to use such an old Crafty version, when we already have better (and stable) versions 19.xx!? Regards, Franz.
