	Got the download (used a free broadband hotspot). All I need now is to find the Junior 10.1 patch that used to be available on the web but apparently no longer is. Also, for some strange reason, although Rybka3 and Fritz11 will appear as engines in ChessBase they are nowhere to be seen when I run a Fritztrainer DVD.

	Eureka! I have worked out how to install Rybka and it is working as an engine in CB9. All I need do now is find out to get F11 as an engine in Fritz (but maybe I have to wait till I get broadband for an upgrade?)

If that doesn't work, then you should contact ChessBase and ask them for assistance. Thanks, although I don't recall doing that on my old laptop. Also, I still need advice on how to install Rybka in the first place!

	All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

	I have taken the plunge and bought a new laptop (and ordered broadband to replace my home dial-up!). I have installed CB9 successfully and have installed Junior 10 and Fritz 11 and can see their destop icons, but only Junior 10 shows up as an engine in CB. Any advice on how to get F11 to appear as an engine? Also, I've forgotten how to install Rybka 3. According to the official instructions, step one is "Copy the chess engine to a directory on your computer." How do I do that? (I have Windows 7). Thanks.
