All Shredder owners who dont get a response from Chessbase can fix the Bug by
editing the *.msg-files in the Shredder classic folder:

Search for the string "Orakel" and insert "I64" five times as shown below
(in all *.msg files the same procedure).
Dont forget to backup the *.msg files first.

Two examples:

a) Deutsch.msg :

### Orakel

NSaved,			"  %d gespeichert "
NSearched,		"%d Stellungen gesucht %s(%d kPos/Sek)"
NWonForWhite,	"%d sind gewonnen für Weiß (%.2f%%)."
NDraw,			"%d sind Remis (%.2f%%)."
NWonForBlack,	"%d sind gewonnen für Schwarz (%.2f%%)."

Fixed:

### Orakel

NSaved,			"  %d gespeichert "
NSearched,		"%I64d Stellungen gesucht %s(%I64d kPos/Sek)"
NWonForWhite,	"%I64d sind gewonnen für Weiß (%.2f%%)."
NDraw,			"%I64d sind Remis (%.2f%%)."
NWonForBlack,	"%I64d sind gewonnen für Schwarz (%.2f%%)."



b) English.msg :

### Orakel

NSaved,			"  %d saved "
NSearched,		"%d positions searched %s(%d kpos/sec)"
NWonForWhite,	"%d positions are won for white (%.2f%%)"
NDraw,			"%d positions are a draw (%.2f%%)"
NWonForBlack,	"%d positions are won for black (%.2f%%)"

Fixed:

### Orakel

NSaved,			"  %d saved "
NSearched,		"%I64d positions searched %s(%I64d kpos/sec)"
NWonForWhite,	"%I64d positions are won for white (%.2f%%)"
NDraw,			"%I64d positions are a draw (%.2f%%)"
NWonForBlack,	"%I64d positions are won for black (%.2f%%)"
LongestWhiteIs,	"Longest/Average win for white is mate in %d / %.1f moves"
