Subject: Fritz 7 and Shredder 6 Interface Conflicts

Has anyone else here had the problem I'm experiencing?

I intstalled Fritz 7 and Shredder 6 tonight.

Frankly, I feel Chessbase has made some annoying errors concerning the identical
GUI's as whichever programme is installed last the GUI at least the Fritz 6
style GUI reamains mostly Fritz 7 if it's intalled last and Shredder 6 does of
course the same thing to Fritz 7 if it's installed last.

This has nothing to do with the patch for Fritz 7/Shredder 6 either.

Does anyone know a fix/solution? Right now Fritz 7's intereface dominates in the
Fritz 6 style GUI and several features that should be accessable by Shredder 6
like the Shredder Mark for example does't show up only the Fritz Mark!

When I insert the CD for Shredder it says Shredder 6 but it is dominated by
Fritz 7 instead!

Any ideas anyone? I can't see how I can change this other than unistalling and
reinstalling just reversing the situation, so that isn't an alternative!

I've not yet tried Shredder's own UCI to see if that helps but really this
shouldn't be happening!

Disappointed with Chessbase for such silly bugs!

Also the Auto-Run can stop working and it can be difficult to remove folders if
you uninstall these programmes as you get a message, access denied cannot delete
folders  as their contents are gone or moved! This can happen to the shortcuts
on the desktop as well, reading access denied #1026

So I wound up installing and uninstalling until I could clean up the empty
folders.

Heck, Fritz 6 is mostly trouble free, I almost hate the fact I got Fritz 7 and
Shredder 6!

They just share too much in common! No wonder this interface conflicts!
