Yes the problem was the date. Protel is now working. Mental note: Protel will not work when the date is set to the year 2053. Thank you for your help and I hope I provided some amusement to you. Even though I am an advanced computer user I feel like I just called the help line to get my computer working and then realized that my computer was not plugged in.
So now that I know that Protel will not install in the year 2053 I better start looking around for some options between now and then. Is this the reason to upgrade to DXP? I though the Y2K thing was a while ago.

No the REAL Y2K bug is 2039 IIRC as most older machines start the date as 1940 (the first electronic computers ??) and add a 99 year offset to this (remember the old XT's and early 286's when the battery backed up clock died it went back to Jan 01 1940
