A virus scanner interfering with file writes is certainly a possibility, but in my case it's definitely not the answer. Protel99SE trashes the ini file (gets an exception error while writing the ini files, actually) on program exit with any ddb still open. This happens fairly predictably, about 50% of the time. It's consistent across multiple PC's and locations -- my PC designer's system does the same thing. It happens in Windows 2000 or Win98 too.
I've tried disabling my virus scanner and even uninstalling it completely. I've had it happen on fresh installs of Protel with "virgin" ini files. There's definitely a problem with Protel somewhere. No other software on my system exhibits such odd behaviour. Moral of the story: Always shutdown all ddb's first, before exiting Protel.
