Trent,
the message that you are receiving seems to be related to Protel not
finding the *.ins files for certain process servers within Protel. Most of the
functions and operations within Protel run from these "servers". So your
servers are not being "installed" or run when you open Protel. it sounds like
you have a number of them missing, one for each time you have to press the
return key.
If you look in your C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System
directory you will undoubtedly not be able to find the files it is complaining
about. Therefore all of those processes will not run within Protel. Typically
each of these processes have a .dll, .ico, .rcs and a .ins file in that
directory. It is complaining that it can't find the .ins files for the
mentioned specific processes. (Maybe other files are also missing.)
Sounds like a clean re-install is called for.
Sincerely,

Subject: [SPAM] - [PEDA] Cannot locate server initialization file: -
Email found in subject
I am moving to a new machine but I am having problems running Protel SE SP6.
When I start Protel I get the following error:
"Cannot locate server initialization file:"
Sometimes this comes up for a while and I have to keep pressing return.
When I finally clear the error I cannot open any Protel files. When I open
them I don't get an error, they just don't open.
Any suggestions
My new machine
Athlon XP 2000+
512 MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack1
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
To tell you the truth it might not be Protel's fault. There are a couple of
things that don't work. The installation for Parts and Vendors (a computer
package) will not go through the whole way and I cannot run my Rabbit
Semiconductor C compiler without it crashing. These problems do not happen
on other machines.
