I just checked patch currently at chessbase is called h732sp.zip I am >downloading that now. I will report on it tomorrow. >Thanks. This patch h732sp.zip worked though one thing I noticed was when I set it up after unzipping it, at some point it refered to Junior?. Why they never called it h732sp2 is beyond me, if you wondered how I had this wrong patch, I think I downloaded it when it came out and never tried to install till a couple of days ago. Anyway I am happy to report that this patch allowed 3) to work correctly. I assume the rest will also go fine right now it is translating :-) Thanks.
