Mike If you copied all the tablebase files to a single location then you only need to use Path1. It's a path, not every single file. Why didn't you copy the files into a specific folder instead of the root? That sounds messy, unless it's empty of course. Since I'm having a hard time understanding what you've done, I'll try to explain a step-by-step installation procedure, which might help you identify the problem. 1) Create a folder or partition where you want to keep all the tablebase files, ie. C:\Tablebases. 2) Install the tablebase files and choose the folder C:\Tablebases as target. 3) When the copying has ended access "Path to Tablebases", press the browse button to the right of the Path1 square, select the C:\Tablebases folder and press OK. 4) Now the "Path To Tablebases" window reads: Path1: C:\Tablebases. 5) Press OK and the display should read: tablebases with X pieces found! [Cache: Y MB + internal Z.ZZ MB]. 6) If you use 5 piece tablebases it might be a good idea to increase Cache. That is done under "Options/Endgame Databases/Cache Size". I think 8Mb should be okay, but using more doesn't hurt. The display will show that Y now equals 8. Hope that helps. Regards, Mogens
