Subject: Fritz 8 Query Upgrade?? What happened to it?

I just reinstalled my Fritz 8 program, after reinstalling the Operating System.
For one, the piece selections disappeared !! This happened twice. I had to
install the Hiarcs8 program to get the piece selections.
The Fritz 8 version I have, was always prompted for the online upgrade, any time
I reinstalled the program.
Now, it the server says my program is up to date. I was not.
There are definite changes to the 3D settings, and the engine after the
upgrades. Also, start up of the Fritz 8 program if 1 gig of RAM is installed, is
very slow.....After the upgrade, booting up Fritz in a Breeze.

Usually the server would prompt you to upgrade....or you can choose to go into
help>Query Upgrade.........This time, the server would not.
Luckily, I saved my online upgrade files to a DVD Disc and I was able to Upgrade
that way.......And the above mentioned changes again took place.

Has Chessbase discontinued the online upgrade for Fritz 8 ??
