Got Fritz 12, installed it and activated it. It runs, Fritz talks to me, I can paste a game....
But- when I try to update it tells me I have ver 1 and ver 7 is available- but is totally unable to connect to the server to perform the update (Error 0). Clearly, since I was able to activate, and it can advise me of the latest version, it can get to the i'net from my computer.
Also, cannot save a game, create new database, or do any of the really essential things.
Anyone else have similar prob? Could it be associated with running on a 64-bit system?I could prob install on my old system.....
Contacted Chessbase, but no reply so far. Most annoying!

P.S. You'll want to ditch the talking part of Fritz, since that gets old after about, oh, say 5 minutes. 😞
