Note that I was careful. I made sure that Fritz7 was working OK first. Also I performed a system maintenance first, scandisk & defrag, etc. Then just before I went for the upgrade, I closed all other software on my computer -- so there was no possible interference from other running processes. I decided to try to capture this upgrade before it was installed, so I could apply it again later if necessary. I was able to do so, using a simple copy & paste operation. The upgrade module is "GUI7.iup" which was loaded into the Fritz7 folder. Then I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's a two-step process, so the upgrade isn't installed until after pressing a button to give your OK. I don't know what installation process it uses, such as scripting(?), nor the system requirements. However I'll note that I recently had a hard drive crash and had to install a new hard drive, my windows op system, and all of my software. I didn't bother to upgrade DirectX to version 7.0 until I noticed that the Deep Fritz GUI crashes without it. Probably the same is true of other later Fritz GUI's such as Fritz7, but I don't know exactly which ones. Anyway, the Fritz7 GUI might be expected to have some fairly rigorous system requirements, so some older systems might not work(?). WP
