Subject: Rebel Problem

Author: Robert C. Maddox

I had a problem with Rebel 10, and now find the same problem with Rebel Century.

I am running Windows 98 SE on a P200 MMX with 96 MB of RAM.  When I run Rebel
from the supplied Windows shortcuts, the program will occasionally just quit.
There's no error message or anything, just POOF!, Rebel disappears and I'm back
to my desktop. I never run other programs while running Rebel.

Unfortunately, if I go to DOS mode to run the program, I get an inexplicable
"insufficient memory" message.  I made a boot disk, and the program runs
reliably when I boot from the disk -- but then Rebel 10 actually benchmarks 100
points lower than when launched from a Windows shortcut!

Why does Rebel just quit when launched from the shortcut, and is there a
workaround?

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

Robert
