The problems you are have are "swap file" related. You have started Rebel with a too big hash table size. At the end of the installation you are asked to create the W95/98 shortcuts on your system. Did you do this? If not my advice is to do that. Simply run REBGROUP.EXE from the Cdrom. Then start Rebel10 with one of two created shortcuts in the REBEL10 windows group. - Ed - >I'm having difficulty getting Rebel to run.
