Mike, you are correct.  This did not happen until I bought another hard drive
and installed Shredder to D:\My Documents .......... instead of the default
C:\drive.  What irks me is that there is no warning of possible conflicts until
the program is installed in a non-default location and a second hard drive
purchased in an attempt to  dedicate it to Chessbase alone.  And I thought I was
being the prudent computer user that I am.  I can't be alone doing this, can I?

Most, but not all, of these problems were evident with a default installation.
Now there are other conflicts with other than a default installation.

Are the support updates available on Playchess.com server different than the
ones available at www.chessbase.com?
