I have not adjusted my graphics settings (Komputer Korner pointed me in that direction on rgcc). While no longer totally computer-illiterate, I have apprehensions about doing such things. This applies all the more to the BIOS: I am fairly sure that I do not have an AGP window there; I am certain that I would not dare to change it. (Let me add that I need my computer to make a living; whenever it isn't working - happens often enough anyway - my life gets more complicated.) But thank you very much for your comments and advice! The main point I was trying to make was that Fritz 5.16 and Fritz 5.32 seem to be horses of quite different color. Charley
