Subject: Fritz 5.32, Manual sparse. How to get computer to fight to the death?

I really like the Fritz 5.32.  However the manual is not very helpful.  I am
analyzing positions using the computer.  Using the Fritz 5.32 v. Fritz 5.32.
Somehow, no matter what I do, the games always end like 5 steps or more before
checkmate with the computer announcing which side won.  I am a weak players and
I can't see that far ahead.  Forcing the computer to move by hitting the space
bar is not good either because in 40 move/2 hour or 1 minute mode, the computer
just refuses to move and run out of time.  I can't find anything in the manual.
Is there are setting somewhere so I can make the game go to the end, all the way
to checkmate??

Thank you for your help.

Also I understand from reading the posts that the Fritz 5.32 manual is actually
just half of what is needed.  That is, it is designed to complement the earlier
Fritz manual (which I don't have).  Is there a way to get a copy or are there
third party user manuals, internet sites and the like?  I have many more
questions.  For example, if I read an interesting game in the newspaper and
would like to enter it by moving the pieces on the board.  How do I do that?  Is
anyone willing to send me a copy of the earlier manual?  I promise to send it
back.

Thank you.
