If the DXP installation program grabs the file association away from 99SE, then it's not a Windows problem, it's a Protel problem (or feature! ) ) JaMi experienced exactly the type of thing I expressed fear about a few days ago when someone suggested I try DXP - that my existing 99SE would get screwed up somehow by installing the DXP demo. Even though I was reassured that this would not happen, I was still skeptical. And it seems my skepticism was well-founded. But on the other hand, JaMi, you are having way too many crashes. Something is really wrong with your hardware or software to be having that many. Is your PC a Compaq? Maybe you have bad RAM? Or your CPU is overheating? Or power supply is noisy? What about bad AC power quality? Perhaps a virus? Someone hacking into your PC from your Internet connection? Maybe you have too many pieces of software running at once. Supposedly NT and W2K don't have resource limitations, but some types of software are still too intrusive (real-time virus scanners, add-on system utilities, etc.). When yer thinkin' about installin' new software, you just gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky today?" Well do ya, GEEK? ;-) Best regards, Ivan Baggett Bagotronix Inc. website: www.bagotronix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wojciech Oborski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 3:22 AM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Warning to DXP Users re P99SE files > JaMi Smith wrote: > > <snip> > > DXP opened the file instead of Protel 99 SE ! > <snip> > > Altium, care to weigh in on this one? > <snip> > > > File extensions assotiation is a Windows thing, not Protel! > > ICAP/IV (Intusoft's simulation software) we use, has *.dwg extension > for it's drawings (schematics), which is also well known extension for > Autocad drawings. > *.sch extension is used by Protel, our old OrCAD SDT and possibly many > other EDA tool I do not use. > Others could give you many more examples, for sure. > > How do you think Protel/Altium could manage this? > > Please, do not blame Altium for every possible problem or difficulty > happening in your professional activity - maybe it's just my personal > impression, but it's some of your recent posts that made that impression. > > Wojciech Oborski > * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
