I had a similar problem with INTSOL, but I foun d that by turning off the backup memory for a few seconds I was able to reload REXMGR without difficulty after restart. Interactive Solutions office ROM is very usable, but as long as the computer is not shut off while it is loaded, there is not a problem. I just use CTRL-O to switch back to another ROM before shutting down. I am using Super ROM most of the time now anyway. It is superior to INTSOL. Fred Whitaker

You should not have to reflash rex. Everything you say sounds plausible until that last point- needing to reflash to recover. Otherwise I can see conflicts potentially with file names and directory entries. That can happen. But not overwriting the base image in Rex. Power cycling after a cold boot should guarantee your abiity to 'call 63012' and reinstall Rex manager.
