I'm having the same problem, and I am running Windows 98 with 192 MB of RAM.
Also, sometimes the menu freezes up and when I set to do game analysis I'm not
able to stop as the manual stated to click on Stop does not work. Like you I
would like to find out how to fix these problems. This will be my last DOS chess
program. I find the GUI for Rebel for DOS to suck.
