Hello,
first of all Happy New Year to all of you!
I had similar problems with Chess Base 7.0 when I tried
to sort a database of more than 1 million games (the problem
occured only with this function, but there are the same: on
the Laptop the Windows directory disappeared and I had to
install Windows 98 again, and on the PC, after booting scandisk
searched for a hard disk failure).
I have talked to Lutz Nebe who programmed the sorting functions,
and he was a bit surprised. I have solved my problem this way:
when I boot WIndows 98 in "no failure mode" (mode sans echec in french)
I have no problem when I sort my big database. In this mode,
the hard disk access is different. Where does the problem comes from?
ChessBase 7.0 or Windows 98? Or both? Difficult to answer.
Best regards,
Sylvain Renard
progrm, or Windows 98 ?
