I'm having difficulty getting Rebel to run. After the installation the program idicates the installation was OK. However, when I try to run the profggram the initial screens come up then Rebel comes up. Then as I start my first game @ 10 seconds a move, after about four moves the programs seems to lock any action from the keyboard. The hard drive light indicates the hard drive is being accessed and for that duration of time, I'm locked out of the program. It's like the program is running from the hard drive and not from memory. The same action takes place with the ten day trial program. The program , anwhere from four to fourteen moves, crashes and returns me to the original screen. At times I get a brief message regarding addressing problems but it happens so fast I miss everything it may have to say. It looks like it is in a dos mode when I get the message and fully switches back to windows. ( I have the Matrox series video cards and you have had "fixes" for that before.) I tried this program on 2 different computers (same video card Mfg) with the same results. I did try to get some assistance from ICD and talked to Tim. The only suggestion he had was to go into the DOS mode and when in Rebel directory, enter the word "Rebel" (space)w1(space)v and try differnt combinations. One time I got a game as far as 25 moves before it crashed. Any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to playing a full game.
