Re: [PEDA] For Those About to Reinstall (was Printing problems)
I receved this advice from Protel when doing a re install. Hello Clive, I'll forward this information on technical resources. Regarding PLD with there being no devices in the list. It this is occurring then you will definitely have to reinstall Protel 99 SE. Follow the steps below, WARNING: A complete reinstall removes all customisations to menus and toolbars etc. 1. Uninstall the Service Pack/s using Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. 2. Uninstall the Protel 99SE program using Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. 3. Manually delete the Protel 99SE files from the Windows/Winnt folder. To do this use the Find files function from the START menu button. Search for *99SE.* it will probably find about 25-30 files, delete these. 4. Reinstall Protel 99SE. 5. Reinstall Service Pack 5 Regards Ben.

Re: [PEDA] For Those About to Reinstall (was Printing problems)
Hi all, Did the advice bellow and it still happens, If I do not delete the pcb preview file before re entering protel, I get a read error in a PCBPrint.DLL and the search function complains of no documents of type PCB found shrug I can open them from the explorer pain. Any Ideas before I am forced to go back to Protel 98 ??
