Protel's simulation is pretty bad, and in particular cannot be done on the same schematic you use for board layout. You have to use different components; at least I never found any "simulation ready" components that could also be used for layout (that may have changed in later versions; I'm still one of the holdouts on 99SE SP6, and likely to stay that way for quite a while yet). I gave up early on, and now use a separate package when I need to do a simulation. YMMV.
