Thanks, Ingo.

I am still confused, but things have improved a bit so far.

1. I downloaded the Shredder 7.04 upgrade from Chessbase (www.chessbase.com).  I
saved the download in a separate Download folder.

When I ran the download file (by clicking on it), it created a folder called
Shredder 6 Classic under my Programs\Chessbase\ folder and installed
Engine704.exe in it.

This did not, however, solve my original Shredder 7 startup & memory problems.

2. BACKGROUND--I normally run Fritz 7 engine (latest update version) under my
Fritz 6 GUI (which I liked better than the Fritz 7 GUI), for overnight game
analysis.

[I do not have Fritz 8, so I do not know how well the Fritz 8 GUI will work for
my purposes.]

I copied the Shredder 7 engine (.dll & .eng files) from my initial Shredder 7
installation, into the Engine folder that my Fritz 6 GUI accesses, and the
initially installed Shredder 7 engine seems to run flawlessly under the Fritz 6
GUI.  No memory problems are created when I start Fritz 6 GUI.

This is nice, but I guess I want to run the 7.04 engine, instead, under the
Fritz 6 GUI.

3. I copied the Engine704.exe file to my Fritz 6 GUI Engines folder, but the
Fritz 6 GUI can't see that file to change the engine to Shredder 7.04.

What do I need to do to update the Shredder 7 engine to 7.04?

4. I guess I need instruction on how to perform the 7.04 update to the initial
Shredder 7 engine.

5. To carry out your advice, do I have to find a Shredder 7 (or Fritz 8) GUI
interface upgrade, and download that to update my Shredder 7 supplied GUI, or
does the upgrade interface you mention come with the 7.04 Engine upgrade?

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the help very much,
--Steve
