Okay Dan Corbit told me to paste this from the winboard.debug file. Maybe someone can see what i might be doing wrong.

}
/firstChessProgramNames={GNUChess
"GNUChes5 xboard"
"wcrafty-18.13.exe"/fd="c:/krafty"
}
/secondChessProgramNames={GNUChess

I hope that worked.

I see 2 errors. At first, there must me a space character after the engine name "wcrafty-18.13.exe" and you have written a "/" character inside the path instead of "\".
So try the following, and be sure you have copyd the crafty files to c:\krafty:
/firstChessProgramNames={GNUChess
"GNUChes5 xboard"
"wcrafty-18.13.exe" /fd="c:\krafty"
}
/secondChessProgramNames={GNUChess
"GNUChes5 xboard"
"wcrafty-18.13.exe" /sd="c:\krafty"
}

Okay i tried it your way and i put the space and changed the slash around and this is how i typed it in the winboard.ini file.
}
/firstChessProgramNames={GNUChess
"GNUChes5 xboard"

}
/showButtonBar=true
Is that correct because it still will not work. I have checked that c:\krafty is okay because i can type it in the "run" program and it will come up. I'm still scratching my head why it won't work?

Run Winboard with crafty against crafty and set the /debug flag.
Send us the winboard.debug file.

I believe i had posted the winboard.debug file in the first post can you check it there? Thanks. It still will not run in Winboard.

Delete the "...." in the path i.e. "wcrafty-18.13.exe" /fd=c:\krafty
and try it again please.
(Be sure that your wcrafty-18.13.exe is really in C:\Krafty without
a further subfolder)
