I tried in a virtual box with winXP. Now, I better understand Bobs problem. On the first call of the application, I got a dialog that asked which application to use for "ListLibraryContents.sh". The windows noob in me guessed, that this is supposed to be the pcb binary. So I happily navigated to the snapshot dir and selected pcb. This was a terrible mistake. Whenever I try to start PCB, it enters a loop and literally spawns more and more copies of PCB until all memory is used. These opies are not easy to kill, because they don't react fast enough. WinXP insists to ask wether it should sende a report to microoft for every single kill... Unfortunately, a remove and reinstall does not remove this problem. The faulty setting must resides somewhere in the windows configs. How I can get rid of them? And what should be the correct setting in the first place? Anyway, after I clicked through the kill of 66 of the 67 copies, I got a responding PCB application. A sample layout did load fine. Zoom still does not work -- Not with the mouse and not with zZ. pan is ok, though. My keyboard is German. The locale of the windows binary is "DE". ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de -----> not happy with moderation of geda-user mailinglist _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
