Go up one level in this thread


I have to think about that possibility. I don't have enough expertise to be
sure.
it's certainly true that cb7 was designed around your operating system kernel
and eight was designed for more powerful OS may demand more than you can give to
do extreme things (memory intensive.)
Specifically cb8 is designed to run on a 32 bit OS.
I had some trouble with cb8 under winME when it navigated files on my hard disk,
to open databases etc. after I switched to XPHome (for other reasons, like win98
isn't supported by Microsoft anymore and I needed some new drivers) I found that
CB8 wasn't as fidgetty-- Imean I know tricks that can force a crash, like having
too many databases open at once and then performing complex searches with other
progs competing for memory, but i can search pretty well even on Mega2002 or
Informant1-76 CD.No crashes doing that. On-line searches through chessbase
website can be troublesome though because I don't always get the options menu to
come up which alows me to parameterize recent games as an option, so I get stuck
with 1000 old games I dont need.
i do like to leave CB7 on one of my hard drives as it allows me to work with
some engines in analysis without dealing with stupid copy protection issues
every time i patch the OS which seems frequent--for security reasons -- as my
country approaches war (sigh).
