Ok, see the README for Win95, Win98, and WinME file in the docs directly. In brief, not all features will work on Win98, but you can turn them off. I recommend using the following: newQuit: off colorClient: 0 planetBitmap: 0 planetBitmapGalaxy: 0 Open your netrekrc file and find the corresponding entries (should be in alphabetical order). Or use the config utility and choose classic mode..I think that covers the ship and planet bitmaps. You may need to change the quit window setting manually though (newQuit to off). Bill
