WAS: proteledaforum Digest for 2002- 01-07 If you carefully read out this thread, you'll see that Protel does work fine in XP. The problem is that after installing & running Protel, Windows help and support facility stops working. Protel still works fine, but if you want the help & support facility to work again, you need to re-install WinXP. ____________ Brian Guralnick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vince Vlach" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Protel EDA Forum'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 7:08 AM Subject: Re: [PEDA] WIN XP Problems. WAS: proteledaforum Digest for 2002- 01-07 | Just an FYI in the midst of all the Microsoft/Protel bashing. I have | Protel99se SP6 up and running on my Windows XP Home box and have no problems | with either. SFC , sys info, and everything else work as they are suppose to | run. Protel99 works just as it did on my Win2k box. The only grief I have | had with XP was drivers for older hardware. Once I had all XP drivers all my | hardware and software works without a problem. The bigger problem I had was | getting Autocad 2000i to work correctly. I had to upgrade to Autocad 2002, | before that would work. | | Vince Vlach | PCB Designer | IOtech Inc. | 25971 Cannon Road. | Cleveland, Ohio 44146 | Tel: 440-703-2221 | Fax: 440-439-4093 | E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.iotech.com/ | | -----Original Message----- | From: Brad Velander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 3:25 PM | To: 'Protel EDA Forum' | Subject: Re: [PEDA] WIN XP Problems.

Yeah I know, maybe an hour on the phone just to be | shunted around or told it is the applications problem, but somewhere, | sometime, Microsoft has got to be made responsible for their junk. | Secondly, it doesn't seem that you have tried Protel for their | comments. They also have to be made responsible for their product. It would | be interesting if you posted Protel's response on Win XP back to forum | afterwards. Then we might all gleen some information on Protel's intended | handling of XP. | Short of this, it seems that there are strong opinions on this forum | but little prospect of help for you because nobody else seems to be using or | planning to use XP. I do remember hearing almost the exact same problems | here or on the NGs a while back, never heard of anybody coming up with a | solution then either. | | Sincerely, | Brad Velander. | | Lead PCB Designer | Norsat International Inc. | #300 - 4401 Still Creek Drive, | Burnaby, B.C., Canada, V5C 6G9. | Tel (604) 292-9089 (direct line) | Fax (604) 292-9010 | Website: www.norsat.com | | | -----Original Message----- | From: Derek Ellis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 11:56 AM | To: Protel EDA Forum | Subject: Re: [PEDA] proteledaforum Digest for 2002-01-07 | | | Sorry to cover old ground... | | What was the actual problem with 99SE on XP pro? | | Don, | Thanks for trying to get back to the original problem. | | I am really pleased that everyone has such strong opinions on Microsoft Win | XP and their preferences to W2K Pro, however, if I have followed the thread | correctly my original post was related to Protel 99 se SP4 on Win XP home. | | I will install SP6 if the person that suggested this is what I should be | running would like to confirm that this prevents the problems in Win XP | home. I will install Win XP Pro if someone else can confirm that Protel 99 | se works correctly without issues on this platform. I do not have W2K Pro | available and I don't believe that this should be a necessary step for what | is effectively a trivial Win XP Home compatibility problem that would take | very little time for Protel/Altium to sort out. | | Protel 99 se SP4 does operate correctly on Win XP Home, however, it disables | a few features in Win XP Home that are what I would call a nuisance. | | The problems were Win XP Home Help & Support fails to run and related | utilities, for example SFC /Scannow will not run, System Information will | not run. The only way to make these XP Home features work again is to format | and re-install XP, as soon as Protel 99 se is installed again the Win XP | Home features immediately fail. | | Regards | | Dez Ellis | | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
