It seems to me this problem was covered several years back, but I'm afraid my memory is like a proverbial seive. I remember the discussion but none of the meat. I'd suggest that you run a search at techserv to see if it's archived.
I do also remember that I experienced a similar problem, and though the application ran, it was intolerably slow on file operations, including file loads... At the time (circa 2001) one of the vets here (though perhaps one of the now defunct vets) suggested to me that it had something to do with a damaged resource file, either one of the ini or rcs files had been truncated somehow. That's what it turned out to be, but I can't remember which file... aj >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brad Velander >Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 12:17 PM >To: Protel EDA Listserver (E-mail) >Subject: [PEDA] P99SE Speed issues loading files. > >Hi all, > Here is a slightly weird one for me. > > I was wondering if anybody had knowledge or experience >with P99SE speed issues when loading files?
