FWIW... I had such exceptions and other problems with Shredder8 on this computer running XP Home (SP1) out of the box, which I upgraded a year later to SP2 using the free MS CD. Then, I very recently put in a new hard drive and reinstalled the op system clean, updated the drivers from the manufacturer, then installed SP2 before installing any of my application software such as Shredder8. Result: I no longer have those kinds of problems with Shredder8. Based on that, your problem with the Junior 9 exceptions could indeed be caused by flaws in your op system. The MS op systems are built with service pack updates such as SP1, SP2, and minor updates, which don't always install correctly when various application software has already been installed on the computer. I still have one problem with Shredder8. When it's running, it uses 99%+ of processor time, which prevents certain system operations from working correctly (or extremely slowly). For example Windows Explorer may freeze occasionally. Here's a solution that helps me, and might help you, if you're running Windows XP (?)... -- Ctrl-Alt-Delete to open the Windows Task Manager -- select the Processes tab -- rightclick the ChessProgram8.exe process (or whatever process Junior 9 uses), Set Priority, BelowNormal WP
