I know this thread is a bit old but I think I have just found a workaround the problem! Now when I loaded the Schematic library, everything worked perfectly.ġ) The byte changes to NOP's worked perfectly for me with Protel 99 SP6.Ģ) The libraries need to be in the root directory of the library DDB and not in the documents folder. I went back and left the ones in the root directory alone but changed the files extension in the 'Documents' folder to. Now it loaded, but it loaded *both* copies and I had two of each Schematic library. So I moved copies of the Schematic libraries into the root directory of the DDB. But when loaded the Schematic library, I got a message that said no libraries were present. When I loaded the PCB library, everything worked perfectly. Previously I had moved copies of the actual libraries to the root directory instead of the 'Documents' folder, but only in the PCB library. I found the bytes given in the two posts by Gunther VB and BonyBrown and made the changes to 0x90 (NOP).

I am running Win7 Professional 64 bit with Protel 99 SP6. I will do some more testing and - if necessary - tinkering if there are still more problems.

Save the changes, run Protel 99 SE, try loading a library, should work. Change all bytes from offset 2690E to 26917 (= a total of 10 bytes that need to be changed) to 90.Ī NOP instruction is 90 in hexadecimal, hence the change. So: get yourself a hex editor (I use 'HxD', it's free) and edit the 'Client99SE.exe' file. The call to SHGetPathFromIDListA does not do anything noteworthy, so I replaced all instructions related to that call with NOP instructions. The dialog gets confused and doesn't succeed in opening the file. But, a call to the windows function SHGetPathFromIDListA corrupts the memory where the filename is stored (it puts a zero where the string starts, which, in the null-terminated string world, means that the string is now suddenly empty).

The library dialog tries to concatenate the filename and path of the selected library file to obtain a full path to the library file that you want to add.

'When/if you feel comfortable, switch but always keeping the old version just in case'.Ok, I just spent a long day debugging Protel 99 SE (Service Pack 6) in OllyDbg to solve the problem of not being able to load the library files in Windows 7 ('File not recognized'). meanwhile, at your own pace, no pressure, practice newer ones as they appear, but do not commit time critical paid jobs to them. My answer?: 'learn and practice *one* and use it to do actual work, stick to it for a couple years. I was having dinner with them and she complained:'I hardly learn a certain AutoCad version when they come out with a new one'. not that muchĪs a side note, a Friend´s wife is an Architect. Simulating reality is processor intensive. Well, sure, ' your Son is a Gamer, isn´t he?'

In the old times, some people wondered about my 'old' Computer and software choice, noting ' other Engineers did the same', while ' my Son has a super duper gazillion MHz computer'. Windows XP is a robust, stable OS, so if it works well. Will you replace a drill press, a hammer, a table saw, because now they make them out of Titanium, fiber composites, cryo treated metals? Precisely because they are ENGINEERS, a tool is a tool and is not replaced because of FASHION. I know, because I must contact Target 3001, because they have locked me out of my licensed software, because of my relocation from my former location., I will be emailing them soon.Ĭlick to expand.It´s not a money problem but they keep using an old RELIABLE program which feels COMFORTABLE and DOES ITS JOB WELL. The other way to use any software on a internet computer is to place it on a flash dive.

Even using a virus protection software will not save you from the 'shut down/lock out' programs being written into your OS, since most software designers and producers are under contract with MicroSoft allowing them to bypass the'Windows Defender' programs and install the hacks. If you want to use the programs, place them on a non-connected internet machine. You must now reinstall your Windows 7, 8, or 10 OS to remove the software blocks. software, because those programs have 'phone home' routines. Microsoft and the software designers, have written 'shut down/lock out' programs for those non lic. software of Protel 32/64 bit software with computer units connected to the internet.
