I think PP runs in a dos window, perhaps your version of Windows doesn't have enough of the dos operating system left on it. Windoze allows you to change the compatibility when running older software, perhaps this will help.

Good luck

If you are running Vista you have no chance as it just wont run on that OS. I spoke to DeltaP about this earlier in the year and they told me they were working on a windows based update for the software that they were hoping to release towards the end of the summer but so far nothing......

If your using XP then it does work in a DOS Window as I use ProPlanner on a XP Laptop system you may need to change the properties to enable it to run in compatability mode.

Right click on the proplanner icon on your desktop --> then click on the compatability tab --> then select Win95 then click ok

It may ask you to reboot your PC. If not then just try restarting ProPlanner and see what happens if you have any major problems give DeltaP a ring they are very helpfull.

I have a distant memory of having to install a missing .dll file as well but I am not sure what it was.
