Here on my development machine both gandalf 5 and the two tigers
work fine in ChessPartner 5.1
As this is a development machine the directory where things are wildly
varies.
I suggest you try to keep everything in CP 5.1 as that is the latests.
then in the about box you can check where it actually loads the engines
from and the version numbers. If this is not correct or the engines don't
appear you can use the Install engine function to re-register the engines.
The tiger engines dll names are: chesstiger.dll and chesstigerg.dll
for gandalf the engine dll name is gandalf.dll
If you are sure you have the correct engines, then go check the engine
property pages for the correct tb path and possible cache sizes. After
changing be sure to select -> Extra -> Safe settings
