Thanks to all for all the advise!! My latest theroy is that the extended RAM module was indeed bad. AutoCAD 2000 is running good without the RAM module. I am assuming current Protel projects may have had the Databases corrupted (when the bad RAM card was in place) and why I continue to get Protel crashes (although I haven't worked on Protel since using Database repair).
At this point I have been able to get work done in all software programs. Time will tell whether I have other issues involved and I will keep the info from the group in mind.

I don't think they are Protel (Altium, whatever) related. I think they may be memory leaks or hardware related. Today, as a matter of fact I've downloaded a program called "Memokit" from MacAfee, suppose to improve memory leaks and memory performance and all that good stuff. I'll try to keep you posted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Adolphs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 3:19 PM Subject: [PEDA] Protel Crashes Hello! I have had extended RAM removed from my computer thinking the RAM was bad. Computer is Compaq Ipaq, now with 64 meg of RAM, W2K. Day One: no computer crashes. Day Two: three Protel 99SE crashes. All three gave an error window starting with something like: Access violation at address 00444C65 in module 'Client99... All three crashes were in a span of 5 1/2 hours (10:15 AM EST, 11:15 AM EST, and 3:00 PM EST). Question: Could the 3 Protel 99SE crashes be from running with only 64 meg of RAM, Protel needs reloaded from numerous crashes with bad extended RAM, or other hardware problems suspected? Any guesses? Thank You!
