Scid indeed tries to be careful with ambiguities. There are two of those: (1) Ambiguous names are captured during the name search phase. These are player names in the Dbase that "almost-but-not-quite" match alternative player names identified in your spelling/rating.ssp file. In a big Dbase there can be a lot of these and as it is in general not the best idea to automatically correct ambiguous names, scid has the option to hide these from the alert window (as you call it) altogether. As an aside: The alert window is actually an editor, showing the correction script that was generated by the name search. The script syntax is described at the top of the text. If you want some ambiguous correction to happen anyway, you can do so by modifying the associated script line (remove the text up to " before the old name). (2) Ambiguous games are found during the correction phase. Suppose a name correction for player X is ongoing (original name old_X) and the .ssp file identifies X's date of birth as May 2nd 1974, then it may happen that scid finds a game in the Dbase played by old_X in November 1967. Clearly, this game was not played by X (as he was not even borne at that time) or the game date is wrong. Scid cannot tell, so scid skips correcting the player name for this game. Once the correction is done, there still is at least one game played by old_X. During the next name search, the name old_X will pop up again... These are the more obvious reasons that can explain what you see. If they do not explain, you may have run into a problem indeed.
