Chessbase questions

Where is the best place to ask questions concerning Chessbase product
issues? Is there a Chessbase support forum?
I have recently purchased Endgame Turbo 3 (Nalimov Tablebases). After
installing all the tablebases, including the 6-piece tablebases, I find some
engines no longer work - Shredder 7 & 8, Hiarcs 9. I needed to upgrade
Chessbase 9 to recognize the 6-piece tablebases!
Do I need to upgrade to the newer versions of the chess engines (Shredder
10 & Hiarcs 10) for the tablebases to be recognized, or can I upgrade my
current versions to enable them to read the 6-piece tablebases?
All engines have no problem recognizing the 3,4, & 5-piece tablebases, but
as soon as I add the 6-piece TBs, the engines crash.
All help/advice would be much appreciated. TIA.

First try this simple solution: power down your modem, router, computer, and
cell phone in that order. Wait 10 minutes. Then turn off the power in your
home for at least three days. Repeat the last "four of your social" three
times, mother's maiden name, full address including zip code, and your phone
number beginning with the area code. To power up use *reverse order*. If
that doesn't work I have some very bad news for you.

You not only need to upgrade Shredder and Hiarcs, you also need to buy CB
11, Outlook Express 14, and Windows Vista. In addition, you will need to get
a new computer (preferably dual core), and upgrade your car from a 2-door to
a 4-door. If your wife has brown, blonde, red, or black hair get rid of her
and send for a mail-order Teutonic wife. After the new
hardware/software/car/wife are in place, you should be fine.

And please don't complain because it's your fault. You should have known
before you purchased the table bases that they wouldn't work with your other
CB programs. Remember, ChessBase GmbH hat immer Rechts, ist ueber alles. Ein
Volk, ein Reich, ein ChessBase.
