Go up one level in this thread


maybe you should take a look into the readme file that comes
with the product.

also there is a handbook/manual. the file is called manual.usa

if you speak english.

16.2.4    WINDOWS 95/98 Memory problems (64 MB)

On some PCs with 64 MB of memory while running from the DOS-prompt REBEL
may report "Insufficient memory". Reason unknown. All we know is that it
is HIMEM.SYS related. Solution: Use the shortcuts provided in the Windows
REBEL CENTURY group.


16.2.5    MS-DOS Memory problems (64 MB)

On some PCs with 64 MB of memory REBEL may report "Insufficient memory".
Reason unknown. All we know is that it is HIMEM.SYS related. Solution:
Remove HIMEM.SYS from your CONFIG.SYS and the problem is over.

16.2.7    Windows 95/98 (F8 trick)

- Start / Restart your computer.
- Press F8 as soon as "Starting Windows 95/98" appears.
- Select -MSDOS SAFE- mode from the menu.
- Load your mouse driver (MOUSE.COM, LH MOUSE etc.)
- Start the program with REBEL.EXE from the CENTURY directory.

You have started REBEL CENTURY with the strongest settings. REBEL averages
5% faster because of the lack of Windows.  This also allows REBEL to
play with the biggest hash table possible. We believe it makes REBEL
5-10 ELO points stronger. In general we do not recommend this option
because of the lack of user comfort, but finally it's up to you to
decide on that.

        Running Windows 95/98 you are strongly advised to use the
        installed shortcuts in the REBEL CENTURY group since they
        are optimized for the best hash table setting possible on
        your Pc.
