I apologize if you've already done this, but try taking these problems to the "Rebel Bulletin Board" (address & link is on the CD). I've seen many prompt solutions to these type of problems, from Ed & his team, there. They have the knowledge & are very helpful. It's usually in the parameters of the windows shortcut. One method that helped me with a Rebel lockup problem was to add "V" (non-vesa) to my shortcut. I don't know why, but that solved my problem and also let me toggle away from Rebel when I wanted to.
