Dennis,
Okay it is good that you can progress. I thought that you may be using
a different PCB package of preference and that is why you needed a
netlist.

You mentioned that you had done an uninstall and re-install. Are you
aware of the full clean uninstall process? P99SE uninstall leaves some
files, actually a fair number of files, that can continue to mess you up
after a re-install. The following process should give you an absolutely
clean re-install.

Uninstall as usual through Windows remove programs facility.
Search your drive for all files *99SE.* and delete them.
Search your drive for *.bpl files and delete any of the the following that
still appear: vclx50.bpl, vcldb50.bpl, vcl50.bpl, Protelcomponents50.bpl,
CSRTL50.bpl
Search your drive for *.dpl files and delete any of the the following that
still appear: vclx50.dpl, vcldb50.dpl, vcl50.dpl, Protelcomponents50.dpl,
CSRTL50.dpl
Then you should be ready to do a clean re-install.

Cross your fingers that a clean re-install fixes the problem if you
don't find some other configuration type problem. I have know several
users to continue having problems after re-installing because of those
files that are not deleted/replaced in the normal Windows uninstall. And
the uninstall is somewhat random, I have done hundreds of re-installs on
various work acquantance's computers over 10+ years and seen that the list
of files leftover after a Windows uninstall of P99SE varies from time to
time. i.e. sometimes there are none of the significant *.dpl files left,
other times they are all still there.

Thanks Brad, thats very helpful - I'll archive your reply for future
reference. When its working Protel is good, its odd bugs can be frustrating.
After I've got this current job done I'll do a unstall/clean/reinstall cycle
and see what happens.

cheers.
Dennis
