You have completely lost me. With any chessbase program immediately after
installation, you will be asked to insert the CD to be checked. Once you do that
, you will never be asked again. What's the problem. PS: I would make sure i
checked off the box that says skip on program start. It takes about 10 seconds
and then you never have to worry with it again. It doesnt get much simpler than
that.  Regards, George
