It might be a file association problem. I think if .sch gets associated with a non-Protel program, it can have effects such as you described. Does a .sch file in Explorer show a schematic icon, or something else? Some scheduling programs use .sch, so installing or updating such a product could have changed the association.

Hi, I am having a curious problem with Protel 99SE where it does not recognise schematic documents. When I try to open such a document, nothing happens. If I try to assign the document as type 'schematic' I find that the option is no longer there! If I try to create a new schematic document, I also find that this option is no longer there! The software still recgnises (and opens) PCB documents and CAM documents. When I try to repair the installation, the problem is not fixed. When I remove the schematic option and then reinstall it, the problem is still not fixed. The only thing that I am yet to try is a total re-install, but I would rather see if the problem can be fixed in another way before I do that. Has anyone come across this problem and/or know how to fix it??
