Mr. Meyer-Kahlen: Ththank you for your response. I have uninstalled Shredder4 and reinstalled it to make sure that it was a good installation. Many players like me buy Shredder with the Thompson set because it is believed that Shredder offers the best interface to the endgame CDs. The problem comes after I create a position in File/Edit Position. I then click on "OK" in the Edit Position dialog and the program hangs. (Black K+P+N vs. White K+B.) What is supposed to happen? How does one save that program and when does Shredder ask for the proper CD?
