I find them unreliable. I've been a member of this forum for a while, but I rarely post to it...it has helped me solve most of my problems already. Since I've changed to XP, I've had a rash of new ones. I actually just posted an email asking about my menus disappearing, but I haven't seen it yet.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in the past...this has been the one reliable resource I could find. Michael.

If you have all of these problems why have you not made enquiries on this forum, your name or email is unfamiliar? To address your comments, I can't comment on Spice or PLD programming, not my field. 3D Rendering in 99SE is just a bad joke or toy option. However the general Schematic and PCB functions are very workable and reliable. I have been using 99SE for 6 years, yes there are a few little quirks where you can get into troubles (mainly because of a different manner in which people are used to doing things from other CAD packages, they get newbies from other systems all the time) but most are very easily dealt with by minor changes in the manner you do operations. Raise your issues and I am sure most everyone that is normally here will jump in to assist.

I don't mean to be vicious about it, but it just doesn't work reliably. I've used it on several platforms on more that one computer and it just doesn't do what the manufacturer tells you it will. Sure it looks good, but it simply isn't. $5000-7000 is just too much money for ANYTHING that doesn't work. Yes, it has lots of bells and whistles. It has a PSPICE simulator, 3-D rendering, and PLD programming. But the PSPICE is awful, the PLD only seems to support a few chips, and what is the point of 3-D rendering? I spend at least half an hour every day working on things that PROTEL screws up. The only good thing I can say about it is that it recovers well from catastrophic failure.
