thank you for your response,steve. the november upgrade of '02 is not a standard iup file. that is because it is not official. the filewas sent in cbz chessbase encrypted format which, when unlocked with a password will become usable as an iup. does any one here have familiarity with the windows blanking problem in chessbase when using the replace- file command to chessbase8 under windows XP for which I am seeking assistance. I still use cb8 for alot of db techniques, and i overlook all bugs that are non-fatal, like in training mode when rooks turn into kings on the board sometimes, but this new problem to me is frustrating, especialy after my recent crashes from shredder7 and then gratefully recieving a solution only from this board directly and a slow response from hambourg. I will hopefully relay on the good judgements of my friends here to search for a solution.- marc On January 24, 2003 at 10:56:53, Steve Lopez wrote: >On January 24, 2003 at 01:07:19, margolies,marc wrote: > >>what i did not mention is that steve also wrote me personal hatemail after my >>posting, > >Expressing displeasure at being sarcastically misquoted is far from "hatemail". >There were no obscenities or expletives in it.
