I just bought a key for Chessbase light premium 2009  and already am regretting it because the 3D board view appears to be broken - when I try to use it I get an error message saying there are files missing

Does anyone have this and have it working properly?

You can download a free trial of fritz then uninstall fritz and chessbaselight premium will keep the 3d realist chessbord.

Good idea!  I tried that but unfortunately it did not solve the problem...

How about uninstalling CB9 and then re-installing it? This is a generic fix for many problems in many different programs IF you're using Windows. 

I'm using CB9 (full version) and the 3-D board works there

BTW is there some reason why you can't contact CB Tech Support for help?

Did the message is :

no scenery files (*.cbd) found in \3D directory ?

Thanks guys

Good to know the board was working in CB9 although I am wondering whether they might have stripped out the functionality for Chessbase Light Premium 2009 edition (disappointing if so since no reference to this in the product description)

I have pinged their support, am waiting patiently to hear their thoughts...;-)

The actual error message is "File(s) missing in B:\ProgramFilesx86\Chessbase\3d\MATERIAL\modern\?Directory"

Having used the programme a bit now it is actually pretty good but it's just annoying that an advertised feature doesn't work 

I'll post back with any developments.  Any other suggestions / thoughts welcome!

Fixed.  In the end what was needed was to uninstall and re-install Fritz 12 download version.  All working fine and I'm happy now

Go figure...
