Unfortunately, driver problems often only show up in one or two programs,
especially those programs that stress the driver. Schematic PCB output
(print display) is certainly graphically intensive compared to your
average Windows program. Similarly, if you talk to a PC-gamer, they can
tell you
] Illegal Operation crash
I usually find that if Protel has got into this sort of routine, then it's
time to re-boot the PC (often needing power-cycling, just to make sure).
The same applies with Windows 2000, although it's not needed nearly as

as with 95!

Hi Guys
I have bad problems like this due to the interaction with a 42 HP
Designjet800 Network Plotter. I fix it by having protel installed on the

I don't believe it! Its stopped working again.

cards. In one case, quite some time ago, I tracked down a particular
failure and found that ATI was aware of the problem and had no plans to fix
it.
I agree with you that time is money, but I don't totally agree with you that
ATI is the problem here since I also get application crashes when I try to
print. But it only affects PCB printing. Schematic printing works fine. I get a
PCBPrint.dll error that effectively hangs the Protel 99SE SP6

If you are not averse to opening up your monitor, there is usually a focus
adjustment on or near the HV module. The screwdriver slot is usually
plastic, but use an insulated
Michael,
i had the same problem with Win95 some time ago. Protel did not liked the
Microsoft fax printer driver (Exchange) that time. After deinstalling the
fax driver protel printed ok.
Best way is to deinstall all your printer drivers and reinstall them one by
one, checking which of them is the
