In the \Windows folder on your hard drive is a file called ChssBase.ini --
you'll need to edit this file to show the path to your CD drive. It's in a
section called [Tablebase]

For example, if your CD drive is drive D:, your path should look like this:

[Tablebase]
Path=D:

PLEASE NOTE: there is NO backslash after the colon in the path! If you put a
backslash there, the Fritz Turbo Endgames won't be found by the program.

Don't worry about editing the file -- just use My Computer (on the Windows
desktop) to go into your Windows folder, double-click on the file ChssBase.ini,
and Notepad will open to show you the contents of the file. Edit the file just
like you're in a word processor, and remember to use "Save" in Notepad's File
menu when you're finished.
