I guess it depends on when you downloaded the >5.16 update. You probably already know this. The 5.16 update that is now on the Chess Base web site fixed some bugs like letting you change the 2d board from fritz 5 to cool and back to fritz 5 again with out problem, but I still get the same weakening in play I see in the older 5.16 update.
