I have that happen from time to time -- the only cure I've found is to
replace all *.rex files from backup, erase the queue and hold
directories, and hope for the best. Oh, and be sure to run the config
(rexcfgw.exe) and open/close every menu -- then say Yes to saving
changes.
Good luck!!
Cheers... Dallas

Many of the developers are doing it out of goodwill and want to have a good
coda to the bbs era, I am open to giving a 25-50 buck donation if the product
is kick arse
