This was a new file since I had just recently reinstalled Fritz 8. I did not lose the file, however, everything in it just froze. When in the database window, after opening up this file, all the games would show, but nothing would work in that particular file. Even the scroll bar would not move. By all means, back up your games files and engines and your Upgrade files as well. Brian.
