My thanks too! Just migrated to XP and was having dire problems with
Autotrax until I found this.

Now, does anyone have a similar trick up their sleeves for OrCad SDT? At
the moment I can't get this to run at all, with any driver, even vanilla
VGA. Halts before it's even come up with the full list of libraries so I'm
not sure it's even a video driver issue.

cheers / Kendall
