Subject: 6 man tablebases. Are they compatible/AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Windows XP Pro

I tried Downloading a set of 6 man Tablebases as a test set. I chose KQQQKQ
since there are no sub-endgames necessary for this particular ending, as would
be the case if pawns were still on the board.
I know from prior experience with 5 man tablebases, that if some 5 man endings
were missing, it would cause Fritz to misplay some endings, since it would not
know "Perfectly", some of the possilble endings.
Such was the case with KRPKR. If some endings like KRRKR or KRBKR were missing,
it would cause Fritz to have to calculate, rather than know perfectly, the
possible ending that could arise.
I chose KQQQKQ because there are no other possible endings that could arise,
other than less pieces, so Fritz 8 should have been able to play this ending
perfectly, and it does not.
Is there something else that I need to do to make them operate properly?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brian
