Just my opinion of >>course. >>Jim Walker > >Shredder 4 has a delay of 7 to 10 seconds from the moment it plays to the moment >it transmits the move.

I bet you don't have a sound card or speaker installed and Shredder is commenting all of his and Tiger's moves. This is the only thing I can think of which can cause the delay. If it's true forget all of your results. The commenting features "steals" abour 50% cpu time. Stefan
