which graphics card do you use,
do you run rebel XP with parameter -v or without any parameter ?

(see manual: REBEL V   - Start REBEL in VGA mode (in case of troubles))

(see manual: 16.2.3    Graphical problems (Matrox and Cirrus)

If you have an old version of the Matrox or Cirrus Logic graphical
adaptor, the pull down menus in REBEL may be unreadable. You can fix
this in the following way:

- Start REBEL
- Press "F6" (CONFIG menu)
- Press "UP ARROW" 6 times
- Press ENTER

The Menu is now ok. Go again to the CONFIG menu and save the changes and
problem is solved forever. Your Cirrus Logic or Matrox video card does
not support a font of REBEL. So actually it's their bug we have to fix.
Also you can find a bugfix for your Matrox card on the Internet at:
http://www.matrox.com/)

also there could be problems with ATI graphic cards in Dos vesa mode
under windows.
