Actually, a nasty problem with a solution which requires PC knowledge. Following a mistake by myself (letting the laptop out of my sight for too long) I found I was locked out of Fritz 8; when I loaded it presented a small window entitled 'Shredder 7' and hung. Evidently my laptop-borrower had been playing around and selected the Shredder 7 GUI option although I don't have S7 installed. The (eventual) fix was to go into C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\ChessBase\ChessProgram8\GUI8.ini and change the lines [GUIVersion] Version=1 to [GUIVersion] Version=0 Wow, that was intuitive :/ Surely the program should either: - disable the Shredder 7 GUI option if S7 isn't installed, or: - if it has to be enabled for some obscure reason, silently switch to the Fritz 8 GUI in the situation encountered?
