Subject: Trouble with Fritz 8 Interface in Windows Prof essional XP ??

Is anyone experiencing difficulties with the Fritz 8 interface.
It seems to take forever to load. Also, when playing on the Playchess server, I
noticed that the kN/s were only reading at 5 or 6 and less. Yes that is the
number 5. During and engine tournament I noticed the same thing for one of the
engines. In this case the one on the bottom in the engine window pane, whereas
the other engine would be reading at approx 1200+ kN/s.

When using the Deep Fritz 7 interface or Fritz 7 interface this is not a problem
at all. The Fritz 8 engine runs just fine within these interfaces. So, what is
it with the Fritz 8 interface?

Should we just load Fritz 8  take the engine for the engine folder, and then
uninstall the interface? There seems to be something seriously wrong with
Fritz8.
The upgrade given by some on this site, does not work. It always says it cannot
find the ChessProgram8\Gui.exe etc. etc and so on.

Any suggestions? Or is the Fritz 8 interface just a piece of junk colored by the
photo realistic 3D Board? Which by the way is extremely nice but has trouble
working it the settings are set high.

This definitely is not a user friendly program.

All suggestions welcome .
