I just tried it with the opening book reference and it didn't crash, and there
are no moves after 2.Bc4 in the mentor book. When playing a game, my results are
the same as James'; 2...Nxe4 is played and that move is out of book.

It should also be noted that mentor.obk should NEVER be used in play, as that
book is strictly intended as a reference and for use by the Game Analysis
feature.

What version of Windows are you running?
