Really it shoudn't matter what version of >Internet Explorer he is using. It does, because Microsquash is constantly changing their dlls.

Because the Evil Empire ChessBase is SPYING on YOU! The REAL reason is that the "Register Nimzo" feature requires the *current* wininet.dll -- if Microsoft would quit changing the dlls every year and stop trying to inextricably weld IE to the Windows OS, these things wouldn't happen. Nimzo isn't trying to access the Internet -- if that was the case, you'd only be able to run the program while online. Mine runs just fine even with the phone cord pulled out of the wall. -- Steve Lopez
