I just loaded the production version of CB 7 on my WIN NT 4 SP3 machine and
clicked on the CB7i icon and went to the menu to get CB7 upgrade from ChessBase
site  and as it was downloading a file it crashed. It does this repeatedly. I
sent the crash log file to Matthias at ChessBase and his reply was to reinstall
WIN NT 4. I am NOT going to reinstall my operating system just because one
program crashes on it. All my other windows chess programs and almost all the
DOS ones run fine on my WIN NT system, so the fault must lie with CB 7. I notice
that there was a separate version for CB 6 for WIN NT and wonder why there isn't
one for CB 7. I like CB 7 a lot but is there anyone else who is running WIN NT 4
with CB 7?
