Two notes: a.) Download a reliable executable, namely the newest wcrafty-18.10.exe from Bob Hyatt's site . Maybe you tried to compile for yourself and goofed or you tried one of the Corbit executables ( not all of them will work well on every computer) . b.) DON'T delete the Crafty.rc file. This will weaken Crafty. An example for a normal Crafty.rc file for your computer matches. hash 48M hashp 10M tbpath=C:\tbs cache 16M There isn't much you can do wrong here . Only thing you have to pay attention to is that the last line of this file _has_ to be empty. hash should be a 3/4 of a power of 2 ; hashp about a quarter of that . Tbpath is the path for your Nalimov tb's in case you have some of them installed ; cache helps improving TB performance. For more details you could have a look at the crafty.doc on the download site and yes : it's very much possible that you already knew all this and are bored now - so what ;-) ? pete > >pavs...
