I am finding few problems at all with Rebel 10. Under win98 I am not working the hard drive at all, even with hash tables set to 120MB on a computer with 128MB Ram. I have had only one crash. When I Loaded EOC I did not have the EOC window active then it crashed. If I have the EOC window active and use EOC or have EOC used as a book or to help the book as in set to strong. I had no problems. Once EOC is working, you can close the EOC window without problems. > >It is also apparent that the Encyclopedia of Chess when utilized will freeze up >the computer when the rating program is started.
