Executable = Compiler RISC OS version = 4.02 (legal) CPU = StrongARM (greyed out) RAM = 16mb (shouldn't this be 16MB?) VRAM = 2mb (ditto) (greyed out) Video refresh rate = ? forgotten, but didn't alter it. Sound = not ticked CD_ROM = disabled Mouse = Follows windows mouse Result: Couldn't get any of the iconbar menus to open nor any filer windows. Couldn't even 'draw' a square with the mouse on the pinboard. :-(( Your 'how much memory' question prompted me to try RAM = 32mb . Then everything I tried worked! :-)) I could open filer windows, see iconbar menus and win a game of patience. Also SciCalc got its sums right. When I get the opportunity (= when Wife is out) I will test some more software on my Wife's, from the dark side, computer. There is an Apple Mac in the house, belongs to my daughter I hasten to add, so I could test RPCemu on that. It is an Apple G4 Quicksilver monster with 2 handles atop of September 2001 vintage. I think the OS is OS X. Is there a binary version of RPCemu for that or is the Apple binary for the later Apple computers with Intel CPUs?
