I still get too many engines running in Game Room, infinite time, Thinking Lines & Visual Thinking open, with custom defined personalities. There seems to be no good way to get rid of the extra engines. If I close then reopen CM with the same settings, they're still there. I can close the engines via Ctrl-Alt-Delete, which seems to be the only way. The disadvantage of that method is that Windows 98 then kicks the corresponding hash tables up into the win386.swp file, which thereafter grows to a very bulky size and the hard drive does a lot of work. For example right now I'm using 256MB RAM, 128 hash tables, and my swap file is 454MB. Apparenlty it works, but it makes most operations slow thereafter while the hard drive manipulates the inflated swap file. I guess all I can suggest is that there should be some way to start up everything without any engines running, then select what you want to run. Apparently there isn't any way to do that at present.
