do you mean single layer of routed copper ? ('single sided board') or do you mean parts only on one side and 2 or more layers of copper?
if you mean the first then the autorouter will probably not work for you as far as crashing that is really a shame using P6 w/ windows 2000 i find it to be very stable with WIN98 (a few years ago) i found it to be less stable but not too bad if you reboot once or twice a day (before it crashed!) 256m ram is not a whole lot, but it should be enough i think since you have tried several machines i think it is time to try a generic mouse and mouse driver ( :) ) other than that i don't know what to suggest have you talked to Protel?
