The old 16 bit engines such as Fritz 4.01, Fritz 3, Doctor 2, etc, will not run under WinXp. Win98, (and for that matter WinMe) while a 32bit OS, will support 16 bit programs, therefore they would run under that OS. As far as Fritz 5.32 - the 332 indicates it being a 32 bit program, and is the same engine as Fritz 5 except it being upgraded to a 32 bit program. It would be nice if CB would write a patch to upgrade these old engines to 32 bit capability, but that would be asking a bit much, I think. So...I guess I can stop trying to figure out how to get them to run... Regards, David
