Maybe I should have added that on downloading the tablebases the format is ex; kbbk.nbb.emd while on say the Fritz 6 CD they are kbbknbb.emd. I found with removing the first . from kbbk.nbb.emd or adding the . to kbbknbb.emd the tablebases didn't work correctly. It could have been that I had the same files with different names, no idea, but now they read all the same and it all works fine. This was regardless of program. Sarah.
