      Hi George
      Your "problem" is a very specific one, almost for sure
      only relating to your PC/software installation. In such
      cases nobody can really help you here. I would however
      suggest that you search for the file "App80.ini", maka a
      copy of this file and then delete the original. If you
      still have the same problem after this procedure, I can
      only recommend you to deinstall Fritz8 or whatever GUI
      you are using but before doing so and reinstalling Fritz8
      please make a copy of your folder "C:\Programme\ChessBase\Engines"
      to enable you to copy all your now running engines in the
      new engine folder.
      Kurt
