Fritz 8 access violation?

[AnthonyTheSage]

I know this is just a shot in the dark since this program is very old, but maybe you guys remember a work around or something. When I try to change the engine parameters for Rybka 3, I keep getting an access violation message and the program crashes. It will let me save the engine parameter file, but the problem is when I try to load it. I've tried changing and shortening the filename, with no success. I'm running it on windows xp, everything else seems to work fine. I'm wondering if maybe it has something to do with the no cd patch, I've never really tried it without it. Maybe I should? Any help would be
appreciated.

Surprisingly, chessbase still supports the Fritz 8 gui. You can download the update (gui8.iup) off thier server and this fixes the problem. Cheers.
