Sound like a re-install is necessary. But before that you could look into the Client99se.ini file (in the windows directory) and see if there is anything strange with the list of servers. You should be able to find a section like: [Servers] ArngeCmp=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\ArrangeComponents.INS AutoPlacer=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\AutoPlacer.INS AutoSave=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\Autosave.INS Binder=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\Binder.INS CAMBillOfMaterials=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMBillOfMaterials.INS CAMDesignRuleChecker=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMDesignRuleChecker.INS CAMGerber=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMGerber.ins CAMManager=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMManager.INS CAMNCDrill=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMNCDrill.INS CAMPickNPlace=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMPickNPlace.INS CAMTestPointReporter=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\CAMTestPointReporter.INS Chart=C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System\Chart.INS ... If not then there is definitely a problem. Maybe there is some issue with writing the ini file to disk? If you do do a reinstall, uninstall SP6 and the 99SE and then delete all the ini files in the windows directory that are relevant to P99SE (and the raf and cfg files) - or better still back them up somewhere else - they contain your customizations (especially the rcs files). After the re-install don't forget to re-install SP6 again.
