Thanks Jeroen I have done all this, but when my computer finds the ERT File/files it's hidden as I tried properties etc. Gives me the version, but I can't actually see the files seperately? I've looked in Gandalf but I can't find all the associated files? In the download I can use winzip to unzip the new ert.exe using the wizard then go back and view 6 files plus a read me file. I suppose I could delete the original after (searh) ert.exe and just drop the new files in? But I'm not sure? Yes I know the Icon is not an exe. only a Shortcut to activate the exe. So if I delete the folder ert 128KB and manually drop in the new files should that work? I'm too use to doing it the easy way with self-extracting patches like chessbase provides!:o) Terry missing something most likely obvious! lol
