That's strange, are you able to manually save games in a database you created ?
What type of database ?  e.g. .LDB or .PGN
If you have multiple databases open they are stored in the last active one.

Your first line of support would be the Rebel company, then Ed would contact
Lokasoft (me) for the GUI related part or Christophe for the engine.
Thats the official arrangement, if however I get direct support questions
concerning RT I am more then happy to answer them.
Further you may want to have a look at the lokasoft website as ChessPartner
updates are posted there from time to time.
Also check out the RT faq at:  http://www.lokasoft.nl/uk/rtfaq.htm

To tell you the truth, I usually have the sounds of :)
I used to play in the Dutch and Aegon tournaments with my own engine, there
it was important to have a clear sound that could read above the noise level.
As alread said on this forum, it's easy to replace the sounds with the ones
you like, in the sounds directory there are a number of .WAV files, you replace
them.
