>: I'm using Windows 2000 Professional.

I am currently in the process of debugging Rhide under XP to resolve
it occasionally crashing and other issues. This may take another few
weeks to resolve as I am not familiar with the code and the debugging
is by the old disection method. 

I can give you some pointers:-
	1) The Rhide 1.4.9 was not built with a LIBC that has support
for W2K so you may find that it does not work correctly.
	2) You may find that 1.4.9.1 could work better
	3) If you want I can give you one of my WIP dubugging versions
that is built with the latest DJGPP 2.04 CVS LIBC. 
	4) Run Rhide in a window as it seems to crash less in a window
than a full screen.
	5) Don't swapp between full screen and window mode as windows
may hang.

I would report this as a bug as this should not be requried. I don't
have any rh_opt.* files anywhere and have never had to create them. I
have used almost every version released for the last 5 years
(including test versions) and have not had to create any files to get
Rhide to work.
