Which Fritz5.16 update are you using? As you probably know, the original 5.16
update had a timing problem. Later a second update was at Chessbase. The size of
two of the files were larger and the dates were later, after unzipping. The
timing problem was solved. What else, I don't know. I wonder why Chessbase said
nothing about this. I just figured they must of fixed it so I downloaded it
later and discovered the changes. I guess it depends on when you downloaded the
5.16 update. You probably already know this.
