This has been reported a number of times with Rhide 1.5.0 . Please run
rhide with a "--help" (double -) on the command line and ensure that
you haev installed Rhide 1.5.0.1 and not 1.5.0 .

I checked and it worked fine for me.

This is RHIDE 1.5.0.1. Copyright (c) 1996-2002 by Robert Höhne
             (Apr  8 2003 18:05:46)

            -b : use BIOS calls for toggle the blinkstate
            -p : do not convert the numpad keys
            -G num : Use methode <num> for screen swapping
            -K : Use the BIOS for keyboard input

            -C : Disable SIGINT handling
            -T : Disable the DOS-box title feature
            -P : don`t remove temp files when exiting


Secondly try running Rhide with a "-S" option to see if you have a
buggy video bios. 

Please note that Rhide will still occasional crash under XP, mainly
when the menu or dialog boxes are displayed. Seems to be something
with XP as it is okay on Win 9x or DOS.
