Hi Aloisio ,

please do the following :

a.) make sure you got the latest updates for the Winboard Adapter and ERT at
   http://www.lokasoft.nl/uk/downloads.htm

b.) Move your engineext.ini to engineext.bak

c.) Create a new engineext.ini containing only the Shredder configuration ,
nothing else .

d.) Try again .


I noticed the Winboard adapter seems to not behave too user-friendly if there
are some not properly configured engines in the engineext.ini .

As a little encouragement : I just did exactly what I proposed and played a
little 4 games match with ERT against Gambit Tiger in 1-minute-blitz without any
problems .

So there is hope :-) !

Cheers.

pete
