The Techserv web site sucks a fair number of inquirers into posting to the 
Open Forum what is actually proper for the main support list, the EDA Forum.

The Open Forum has relatively few subscribers; one is much more likely to 
get a response from the EDA Forum, which has, we suspect, thousands of 
subscribers, quite a few of whom are active.

It is highly recommended that Protel users including demo users subscribe 
to the EDA Forum. Many otherwise difficult problems can be easily resolved 
with user support; user support is generally better than what Protel/Altium 
can provide.

The protel-users family of lists on yahoogroups.com has an archive list 
which keeps all posts from the Techserv list, protel-users-archive. It is 
possible to log into that list through yahoogroups.com and search the 
archive. The question has been asked before about Windows ME, but I am not 
certain of the answer and don't have time at the moment to search the archive.

Generally, I consider it poor form to ask a question on a list or newsgroup 
and request off-list response (unless the response would truly need to be 
private). By posting question and response to the list itself, many people 
who may have the same question will be served. For example, if this 
question has been asked and answered since the archive was started, Mr. 
Duldig might have been able to find his answer on the web (and the 
yahoogroups lists are sometimes available through google.com as well).

Protel's official answer is that since Windows ME was released after Protel 
99SE, proper performance under ME cannot be guaranteed. Windows NT or 2000 
are the recommended operating systems, Windows 98 is tolerable, but I would 
not use the latter without expecting that I'm going to have to learn how to 
drive it so as not to crash.
