The manual says Rebel Century isn't NT4 compatible. The program is supposed to run well under Win 2000. I haven't heard of the above complaint however you could try the following: 1) Increase the size of the swap-file (virtual memory). The best way is that Windows handles the size of the swap-file itself which is the default setting. 2) Start the program with START.BAT instead of REBEL.EXE. It will launch a small patch for some mouse drivers. 3) Start the program in VGA mode. Use the provide VGA shortcut. 4) Lower the size of the hash table (menu OPTIONS). Good luck!
