Hi all,
I posted this in another NG with no luck so far. I was wondering if anyone
here has a fix...
I thought Protel 99 SE was working fine in my Windows Vista laptop (I'm new
to Protel) but after reading the manual I ralized I can't load any schematic
or PCB libraries. I read in the net that this is a known issue with Protel
with Vista.
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this problem?
Thanks |

Then you are down to running a virtual copy of an operating system like
XP that Protel 99 SE will work with under Vista or scrapping the
resource hogging eye candy and going back to native XP which will work.

I like the way you wankers respond with shit that is totally useless
to the OP.
Right click on the application and select the "run as administrator
option". That might help. |

I have not used Protel 99se for a while, but I need to in the near
future. I am using Vista and intend on installing it in the next week.
If you can wait that long I might be able to provide some more help. |

FWIW my layout guy just got a new triple-core motherboard yesterday (the
PCB is evil & slow - DRC took 11.25hrs on my 3GHz duo-core running XP
SP2) which wouldnt load XP (a BIOS issue apparently) so he loaded VISTA,
and 99SE worked first time.
but he (or more correctly his 9-yr-old son who is astonishingly good at
this sort of thing) set himself up as god.
Cheers

I see your problem. I found a work around. If you click on the find
button (browse sch tab), then search throught the libs you can add
them that way. Its a pain in the arse, but it works.
I used procmon (sysinternals) to have a quick look at why it might be
failing, but nothing looks obvious. Also had a stuff around with
security policies with no success, but my guess is that this is where
the problem lies. |
