This happened during the first open and close after reboot. After that, openning and closing no longer caused the grinding. It seemed that Windows XP had adapted the disk caching to the application but I was not sure. I took out all the start up programs I possibly could but still the problem could be reproduced after rebooting. I had no such problem on my newer Athlon 1600 XP machine though. I think this problem is related to Pentium III in combination with Windows XP and also with Chessbase GUI but I suspect it is not engine related. Regards, Jim
