The Engine should appear in the engines list now:

In this list, you can also select the hash size for the engine (fifth column). Rybka uses the hash to remember the positions it has searched, so a bigger hash table will slightly increase the engine strength. A good hash table size is usually your computer's RAM divided by 4. Note that Rybka can only use powers of 2 as hash size, ie. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 MB.
6th Step: Starting Infinite Analysis
Go to sandbox or database mode and press the little arrow at the bottom of the "Analyze" button.

That's all. Enjoy your analysis with Rybka!
