Ed, I tried following your suggestions with no luck; I even tried other modifications to the autoexec and config.sys files, still without success. I looked for information on this problem and found that it happens with some other programs and it could be related to a change in the memory extender in the DOS emulator of Win2K. It affects both the install and Rebel executables. I was wondering if it was just my implementation of Win2K with the fourth Service pack or there are installations of Win2K that can actually run the software. Maybe knowing the problem a solution could be found... Thanks again for your time and effort. Hope you have something else for me to try.
