I have a problem, tested on two computers now where I installed Shredder 9 UCI. After that Hiarcs 9 and Shredder 8 will not run on either PC. I assume that the Shredder 9 UCI install overlaid some dll or something but haven't tried uninstalling Shredder 9 to try to fix it. Just a side comment... Best, Chuck
