5 things you can try, if your Playchess program crashes:
-Windows Media Player 10 has problems with Playchess program - try to go to version9 or earlier.
-Use very big hash for engines 512MB-1024MB. (It makes my Playchess program more stable :).
-Use GUI interface version23
-Search for "tbaccess.dll" in your "Program Files\Chessbase". If it is not 500KB, replace it with the 500KB file. You can get the 500KB from my website http://peter123.com/chess/download
-Dont use Windows Explorer or Internet Explore when playing on Playchess
When the Playchess program crashes:
Playchess engine (DeepFritz8 the most, but other engines too) will stop working, and you will loose on time.
Or you get error (or no error) and your whole program will close. - updated 2005-02-22

AthlonMP is dead! Opteron1.8 retail (with fan and 3year warranty) is $250. This is price for 2xx Opteron, which may be used in duals. Dual Opteron1.8 will have 900kns with DeepShredder9. - updated 2005-02-21

New GUI available - version 25 - updated 2005-02-16. Maybe fix for DF8 bug ? If you are on version 24, and you do "Query Update" it will say "up-to-date", but it is not correct.

Shredder9 is out.
Official release date was February 10. A few days earlier we got UCI versions. There are 4 versions available: Shredder9 ($50), DeepShredder9($100), Shredder9 UCI($50), DeepShredder9 UCI($100). UCI comes with better book, but you cannot use it on Playchess server (only with original GUI). The standard Shredder/Deep Shredder has also Playchess serial number. Get UCI versions at shredderchess.com - updated 2005-02-16
