Is that file available in your web?

Is hard to do. I reported to Robert problems debugging the editor, but these 
problems aren't that huge. I can debug the editor (over than 650Kb of heavy 
C++ sources) with RHIDE 1.4.5 as distributed by Robert.

Any problem in RHIDE about video modes doesn't mean it will crash ;-). Here 
we use 1.4.5 for 640x480x256 without major problems.
