PS: Sorry I confused the Windows version, I remembered Windows ME having
problems with Fritz 6, but not Windows98 SE. The problem with Windows ME was
simple to solve by replacing the SHLWAPI.DLL in Fritz or chessbase/engines
directory with the most current SHLWAPI.DLL either in Windows ME or the one that
came with Fritz or Chessbase Engines.
