I now get an insufficient memory message when I start up the program!
I am reluctant to re-install it because I mistakenly threw away the jewel
case when I re-organized my software last year. I therefore no longer have
the registration #. It's ironic that I have never copied commercial software
and now I'm stuck. I will have to beg CB for another # as I had to do with
the Chessbase program.
I'll try the update.
