Mike;
Search the machine in question for old rbase.ini and rbase.cfg files.
Make sure to search "My Computer" in the "Look In" line of the
Find Dialog Box so that Windows searches ALL network drives and
devices in your path. Rename any rbase.cfg files that you find so
that R:BASE 2000 will create a new one. Also, make sure that there
is only one rbase.ini file, and it resides in the default install directory
with the R:BASE executable. The lines in the rbase.ini file that
direct it to the HELP, MESSAGE, and CFG Paths must be correct.
If this is only happening on this one machine, as per your message
below, I would bet that you are inadvertently using the wrong
rbase.cfg file.
If this is happening on more than one machine, then it could be
another problem.
