I'm using NT Server with SP5. I'd suggest you to upgrade your service pack to 5, also there's a possibility that you may have corrupt so files in your first installation. Should had rebooted when it told you to do it. The only suggestion I can give is to de-install the program, then delete the folder Deep Junior which was created in the Chessbase folder, and the also any DJ entries which was made to the ChssBase.INI file in the \Winnt folder. Then try installing again and make sure you reboot the computer before using the program. Laurence
