Orcad PCB 386 V4.42 Doesn't work on windows 2000

[Nuri Akman]

Hi everyone,

I'm (trying) using Orcad PCB 386 V4.42 on windows 2000. But, it
doesn't work. I have a BATCH file for configuring Orcad's environment
variables. When I try to run that Batch, screen is getting black.

Also, I try to set environment variables within windows's environment
variables section. But result isn't change.

Does anyone can help me?




Note:
My system is Pentium III 933 Mhz, windows 2000, 128 Mb ram, 20 gb
fat32 HDD, 32 Mb TNT video card.

Try asking [email protected] I have seen it run on Win2000.
4.42 is the ESP version. What is the PCB386+ version? The latest is 2.22
before the shelved it. It is one of the bigger mistakes the made.

What video driver are you using? Have you tried an ATI card?

There is a basic problem when you install Orcad PCB on any windows 95
and up system. The routines that Microsloth uses to return basic bits
of information about the environment, don't work correctly.

Orcad's generated install batch file ends up just full of constructs
like:

IF NOT %C:\ORCADESP\. == C:\ORCADESP\. Goto ENVERR

and

IF NOT . == FALSE. Goto ENVERR


As a result, your install program will fail miserably. You will have
to do everything by hand, or boot an old version 6 MSDOS, and do the
install from there.
