I have no problem to change the name of the file that I have to polyglot.ini but it does not prevent the error that I describe. Otherwise you can specify which ini file to use by adding it to >the command line, as in: > >polyglot rybka.ini I do not understand it.

Due to license >restrictions I don't think it was allowed to be made available in the same >package as polyglot, it has to be got seperately. I have that file and put it in the same directory as polyglot.exe but it did not help. renaming that file to another file does not change the error that I get Note that I have that file in many folders and putting it also in the rybka folder did not help.
