Sorry to cover old ground... What was the actual problem with 99SE on XP pro?
Don, Thanks for trying to get back to the original problem. I am really pleased that everyone has such strong opinions on Microsoft Win XP and their preferences to W2K Pro, however, if I have followed the thread correctly my original post was related to Protel 99 se SP4 on Win XP home. I will install SP6 if the person that suggested this is what I should be running would like to confirm that this prevents the problems in Win XP home. I will install Win XP Pro if someone else can confirm that Protel 99 se works correctly without issues on this platform. I do not have W2K Pro available and I don't believe that this should be a necessary step for what is effectively a trivial Win XP Home compatibility problem that would take very little time for Protel/Altium to sort out. Protel 99 se SP4 does operate correctly on Win XP Home, however, it disables a few features in Win XP Home that are what I would call a nuisance. The problems were Win XP Home Help & Support fails to run and related utilities, for example SFC /Scannow will not run, System Information will not run. The only way to make these XP Home features work again is to format and re-install XP, as soon as Protel 99 se is installed again the Win XP Home features immediately fail.
