Smartdrv.exe however does need himem.sys to be loaded first in order to run. Unfortunately some machines, like mine, will not run Rebel 10 and up (Rebel 9 also as Ratko reported) unless it is loaded with the int15 parameter, as described in another related post. Does your machine run Rebel Century with himem.sys loaded?
