I had problems with Fritz 7 when clicking onto the crosstable while running an engine tournament. Many times it would crash on me. Some of the upgrades seemed to help this a little but not 100%. Once I installed the Hiarcs 8 program the problem totally disappeared. I do not think what you are getting on the CD as far as interfaces are concerned is really 100% identical. I had installed and uninstalled Fritz 7 many times before I received Shredder 6 and Hiarcs 8, and the problem always persisted. Installing the Shredder 6 program did not eliminate the problem, but installing the Hiarcs 8 program did. Go figure. So that leaves us with a question, which programs should we retain ( since we all seem to have different problems)and which programs should we uninstall? I look forward to hearing other opinions and problems. Brian
