Re: [PEDA] Router crashes (P99SE/SP6)
Thanks for the tip, Rob I actually had a successful route last night, having first turned off the Sophos Sweep update service - so it looks like the culprit was the anti-virus auto-update. I might just try a control experiment tonight (same start file, AV update on) to be (more) sure.

At least remove the libraries from your project if they are going to be unavailable since from what I can tell Protel leaves them open whenever you have the server (PCB) running.

[PEDA] Router crashes (P99SE/SP6)
I'm having a bit of bother with the autorouter [cue cries of 'and you're surprised?']. Specifically, when I start it routing on a 3-4 hour job before heading home at the end of the day there's a high probability of client99se.exe not responding, with 100% CPU utilisation showing in Task Manager when I get in next day. All status/time messages are frozen, as is the whole of Client99SE, and of course it doesn't even backup the .pcb during the hour or so it actually runs. I'm running Protel (Proteum?) on a P3/800MHz with 384Mbyte RAM under Windoze 2000. Two possible clues are (a) after about 6pm the PC in the office with the shared directory containing our company Protel library files is shut down and (b) my PC gets an auto update of Sophos antivirus from our central server, this usually happens at least once overnight. I'd guess that the router doesn't need the libraries to be accessible, but the Sophos update could be significant. Can anyone shed any light on the cause (and hopefully fix for) this crash?
