If both GUIs work OK, then keep the Fritz 8 GUI which is the latest. Uninstall
Fritz 7 from Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Backup whatever you don't want
to lose first such as engines, layouts, databases, opening books, etc. You may
not lose them, but safer to back them up. If you used the installation defaults
those are probably mostly in your My Documents/Chessbase folder, and the engines
in your Program Files/Chessbase folder. Note that some engines may not work in
the other GUI unless you insert their original CDs for checking. You might test
that first, just to be sure you don't really need both GUIs!? I've seen free
anti-CD-check utilities offered on the newsgroups.
