Subject: Re: Fritz 8 and Windows XP PRO Problem- you need to update the gui

Go up one level in this thread



the gui that was published with f8 last november and s7 last december (before
christmas ) had some bugs which affects systems like yours, because of the way
they address memory differently etc.
this problem is solved but you cannot run the program 'out-of-the-box.'
3 solutions exist. 1) as another correspondent noted, installing tiger or junior
solves the problem-- they both use an April '03 revisedinterface/gui.
2) for less money--- get a copy of cbm magazine on disk number 93-- about 20
bucks, go to the updates folder and install the latest gui patch.
3) for NO money-- without playing the program on your machine- select the option
to go to playchess server. create an identity there -- you need to use the
serial number of the software in your manual todo this-- then after you are
logged in-- peform an on-line update using the help option in the title bar of
the playchess on line  software.

this will work. good luck and have fun. - marc
