James, Yes, Chessbase GUI's have bugs. I'm not trying to defend Chessbase. The point I am trying to make is if someone is dissatisfied with a product or service then stop paying good money for bad products/service. The only way a new company can rise and challenge (i.e. AMD vs Intel) Chessbase is if people buy their products. I enjoy reading constructive comments/complaints about Chessbase products. What I don't like is ridiculous accusations like Ralph's. Fritz7 updates do cause problems, but they do not cause your computer to crash 3 times in a row when trying to install them.
