Ok I'm stupid. I've been playing against Fritz using the rated games
feature. I got a little too excited and started doubling the stake
until it got really high. Now I'd like to reset it.

I've see stuff on previous version about a rating32.dat file and some
..ini files, but none of them exist on my system. Anyone know how to
reset Fritz 8?

Thanks,

Tom

You might try clicking on TOOLS then click on FACTORY SETTINGS!

If that doesn't work -- uninstall Fritz, then delete the Chessbase folder
found in the Mydocuments folder.

I'm not sure why or what your "other" CD is for, that you keep in your CD drive, but this may be
the problem.

After I reset to Factory Settings and restarted the FRITZ program it asked me to insert the
Install CD, which FRITZ verified. Following this everything works as before, that is, I don't
have to insert the cd each time I run FRITZ.

Perhaps keeping a non-install FRITZ CD in your cd drive all the time causes the program to try to
read the FRITZ code from this CD, which of course is not there, and this makes it ask you to
insert it.

Try starting FRITZ without any CD in your cd drive.

DON'T DO THIS! While it did reset everything, it now asks for the CD
on startup every time. Does anyone know how to make it stop doing
this? Every time I want to play chess I have to get up, find the CD,
take out whatever CD is in my CD drive, pop the Fritz CD into the CD
Drive, let it "verify" that it is a real CD, take the CD out, put it
away, put my other CD back into the drive, then I can play chess.
There has got to be an easier way!
