Thanks for your reply. I picked up fritz today, and it seems
complicated with the million games and all. Is there a tutorial i can
download or website i can visit with detailed explaination of the
features of this program?

There's lots of tutorial material at

http://www.chessbase.com/support/index.asp

Some of that may be useful. You probably won't need the existing database
very much so here's a quick explanation of how to create a database of
your own games. (This is for Fritz 8 but version 9 is probably the same
in this respect.)

From the Fritz main window, turn off the engine (from the Engine menu) and
play through the moves of the game. From the File menu, choose `Save as'
and enter a file name for the database and the details of the game
(players, event, date and so on). For subsequent games, you can just use
`save' to add to your existing database. Once you've entered the games,
go to the database window, highlight them and find `blunder check' on the
menu (Tools|Analysis or something like that). Fritz will then point out
all the tactical opportunities you missed.

Don't add your games to the built-in database or you'll never find them
again. :-)
