No problem - just a few questions:

Would you prefer a Winboard package or Arena package?   (Winboard is good simple
engine interface for just playing without a lot of bells and whistles) Arena has
more bells and whistles, much better engine vs engine capability, but it could
be a tad too much for an inexperience user.  If you have never used Arena or
Winboard, I would prefer to setup Winboard for you ( later on when you get
comfortable with Winboard, you can move to Arena.)

Do you have EGTB (endgame tablebases) installed today? If yes, what folder are
they in? (what is the exact path)

Do your prefer a C or D drive installation (or pick some other letter)?

I cannot send a 100MB file, but we might be able to find an intermediary where I
place the files and you go can grab them.  First answer the questions, then we
we can move to part 2.

Best.

Michael
