I can open every other database game in every other database with a dble click and it works? as I would expect the Mega Database to.

I can open games from the "Database Preview: Mega Database 2024" from outside the Mega Database,

,But if I open the Mega Database by dbl clicking on the Mega Database Icon I get the Intro screen with Orange top saying Mega Database 2024 click on Games Database or Games from the ribbon and get a list of games no game open when I dbl click on it!!!

It does say in the bottom left hand of screen "Done - Load/Merge selected games" and if you single click on a game the game goes blue, and you can right click on it and get a menu but nowhere does it say play, it does say replay games automatically but still can't replay.

I am completely at a loss myself, because so far we have received an identical description from other users.

In my first mail I asked you to open the game list and then try to load one or more games into the board window using the keyboard.

Could you please try this out?

Anyone else suffering

Am I correct in that they want something like ~$240 for the mega database? Did you actually pay that?
