Install again..."? That's what my Rebel 9 upgrade does. I think mine has something to do with the copy protection, even though it accepts my Rebel 8 disk when it asks for it during installation. If it aborts during installation instead with a message about not enough conventional memory, it is talking about the lowest 640K of memory, not your 16 MB. To increase this requires removing device drivers, and would require a knowledge of what is in your config.sys and autoexec.bat files, and what version of DOS you are running, (or Win95). kp
