The Autosave database does exist in c:\My Documents\Chessbase\CompBase, it's in
the history list, and the database is cluttered with stuff from April 2001 (when
I first got my PC) until March 2003. Nothing has been added since then, and I
use Fritz on an almost daily basis.

Oh well, unless anyone suggests anything else in the next 24 hours I'll do a
reinstallation.
