Hello

After opening Fritz 7, click on the menu the option HELP and ABOUT FRITZ 7. A
window will pop up; see the date of your version in the upper bar. 11/nov/2001
should be the original version freshly installed from the distributed CD.

Go to your ./engines directory (generally /program files/chessbase/engines,
locate the file fritz 7.eng; right click it, click in properties and in version.
If your version is 11/nov/2001 you sould read the engine version 7.0.0.1

If the above info is what you read, you need an update.

Open your Fritz 7 program, click on playchess (not on play fritz) and connect as
guest. Probably Fritz servers will warn you a new version to your software is
availabe. If it does not happens, click the help menu, and chose the option
QUERY UPGRADE. Both ways will open a dialog box, click yes to download the file
GUI7.iup. Once the download is over, a dialog asking "upgrade now?" will pop up;
click yes.

After receiving the OK dialog box (...upgrade ok), close the connection and
click in Play Fritz. Check again the version date; if the  upgrade is well done,
you will read "22 jan 2002"; check again the engine version; if ok, it will read
"7.0.0.6".

If anything different than that happens, go to your fritz 7 directory, check if
the file GUI7.iup is there, and run the file iupdate.exe to make the upgrade
manually. Check the program/engine versions again to confirm it is done.
