Hi Steve, I don't know whether anyone else might have more success than I, but it doesn't work for me under WindowsXP at all. I get a black screen with flashing cursor and if I hit escape I get a "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction" error! I've twiddled with all the emulation settings to set it to Windows '95 mode and limit it's memory and set it to full-screen, but with no luck I'm afraid. Seems like I'll have to keep looking for a schematic/PCB design program/s Regards Christine "Steven Murray" <steve@airbornbuttakethisout.com.au> wrote in message news:HT9f9.153$66.16002@nasal.pacific.net.au... > Hi there, > Protel autotrax (PCB) is available for free download at: > http://www.protel.com/resources/downloads/index.html > > We/I provide VESA video drivers (open source) so that > this package can be used at resolutions above 640x480: > http://airborn.com.au/layout/easytrax.html > > Matthias Hartl wrote (and we host) PCX image format printer > drivers (open source) the output of which can be emailed, > put on websites or printed under windows.
