Hi Mark, Check the knowledge base ( http://www.altium.com/forms/kb/default.asp ) for the following keywords: "Access violation" "clean install"
I have had problems like this (AV or some other crash) caused by corrupted PCB user libraries. Try holding down the CTRL key while Protel is loading, this prevents documents from automatically being opened. If this avoids the AV, remove all of the installed libraries from the list of installed libraries. (you can put them back one at a time later to see which one is causing the problems) Now try loading a few of the example projects. If they can load the installation may be ok, and I'd look at that projects files and libraries. If you still get the AV's I'd follow the clean install procedures.
