Database Not Working

[Tubbycoates]

Hi all,

I've got an old chess database, CB70, which I run on my laptop which is windows 10.

For some reason, it has suddenly stopped working.

I've tried doing a clean, and uninstalled and re-installed, but no joy.

All it does it display the first tutorial page, then nothing. It is still showing as running, but nothing is displayed.

Any ideas please?

TIA

Have you tried using Compatability Mode?

No, but I'll have a go !

Thanks

Tried that, still won't work.
I'm just puzzled that it has worked fine for months, and now doesn't.

I suspect that an update to W10 has rendered the software incompatible with the operating system. (Sorry!)

Is this of any interest to you?

I'm still puzzled. As I say, the software has worked perfectly well since I got this PC about a year ago. I was working on the DB this morning, and it was fine. Now I've tried to use it again and it either won't display, or crashes when I tried compatability mode.
That chess db might be useful, but I need something to work with my database(s).

Try uninstalling and reinstalling again but make sure that you reboot the computer in between. (Possibly even better though, do a registry clean-up with CCleaner, and then reboot, between unistalling and reinstalling). That can sometimes shift a 'sticky' reistry item that's causing a problem.

Still won't work.

Thanks anyway.
