Hi, I don't have protel 1.61, but some other experience may worth a try. Normally, a file copied from CD to hard drive will be Read-Only. You must clear the attribute to work on it. Have you tried cleaning the Read-Only attribute of all files you copied back to hard drive?

Easytrax may help you. http://www.electronicsaustralia.com.au/cgi-bin/downloads.pl?area=7 I suspect that there are a number of other sites from which you can download Easytrax (or Autotrax). This was the first one I found in a Google search for Autotrax. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've been using Protel Autotrax 1.61 for years. My old computer died but the computer repair people were able to copy my hard drive to CD. But the old DOS version of Protel on the CD won't run on my "good" computer running Windows 95. If I re-boot in DOS, Protel will start but gives an error message then another (#103 I think). I can then load the PCB file I want but when I try to place a component it can't find the library. I can see the LIB file in the directory but it won't LOAD. I've been told that DOS in Win95 is not a "full DOS" and that may be the problem. Or Protel got damaged in the crash (keyboard input section went bad) or it didn't copy to the CD correctly. > > In any case, does anybody have an early Windows based version that they would like to sell? Something close to the old 1.61 I had so I can at keep running without having to learn too much and without spending $4000. > > Thanks in advance. > John Echols > > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
