  The old Fritz 5.32 (last free version) does this. Of course it is not as powerful as the latest version (big understatement). It is available here <http://freechess.50webs.com/fritz.html> but note that it will need some work (described on the website) to get it to run on modern versions of Windows.
  
  I alternate between Fritz 8, which is not quite as old as the free version and runs on modern operating systems, and [Scid vs PC](http://scidvspc.sourceforge.net/) which is a much more modern fork of Scid and could also be worth trying especially if you are still stuck on original Scid.

  Chessbase is top of the line, but there are a lot of alternatives: Hiarcs Chess Explorer, the Shredder GUIs, Aquarium, Chess Assistant and Chesspartner.
  
  Arena is free, but has a few of the menu items in German, and is perhaps more for playing engines than analysis. Other free ones are Chesspad, Kvetka, Penguin and Tarrasch.
  
  SCID is pretty good for a free program, but the commercial ones have a lot of interesting features.
