Tactics Training With Fritz / Chessbase

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a few settings or configuration tweeks that make going through pgn tactics problems easier with this software.  I understand it isn't really intended for this and will never have the tracking features of tactics software such as CT-Art.  Anyway there are a few problems I have when trying to solve the positions.  They are:

1 - Game moves (solution) are shown.

2 - If I play the wrong move the "input new move" window comes up and shows me the old (correct) move.

3 - The board does not automatically flip when the position has black to move which makes it difficult to know which side to play.

Ultimately I would like to be able to load a pgn database and solve the positions without making the answer easily seen.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You ever checked out Tacbase?  It's pretty good.

I have the same questions. Especially number 2! Any help would be much appreciated!

I also have Scid vs. PC but it does the same thing. I understand why these windows appear, but they're not helpful when you want to move pieces without getting any information about the right moves.
