Hi,

I'll test with full screen mode, I like simple solutions :-)
And if it doesn't work I'll try with Cadint, but the demo version is limited
to only 250 pins, which might not be enough for next project... So, if I can
get the fullversion of EED  working on xp... Maybe I'll keep the 486 a
while...

Thanks everyone. I'll get back with a report...

Subject: Re: [OT]: CAD in a Xp dos window


Hi,

I have been through the same thing as you. I havn't got it working in a DOS
window but it works great in full screen mode (can switch back and forth
with
Alt+Tab). I am also using a VESA graphics driver that enables me to use the
cad
in much higher resolution than with the original PC graphics driver.
However,
this is only working with some graphics cards or, as I suspect, with the
graphics driver for some cards (supporting the VESA standard).

The guy who made the VESA driver also supplied me with a modified version of
the CADINT.EXE file which, according to him, was fixed to work better with
newer operating systems (windows).

I have also noticed that when I run some other programs that uses the serial
port before I start the CAD, the CAD won't start until I reboot the
computer. I
havn't been able to fix that yet.

But I really feel that I should change to another CAD system. The problem is
that I don't know which one and I never seem to find the time to evaluate
the
different packages.

Regards / Ruben
