Running Protel Autotrax under WinXP

[Piglit]

I notice that if you boot 'Trax under XP, and it cannot find the
design you were working on previously (ie you have deleted it), the
program will hang. The only way of reviving it is to quit out and edit
the config file to point to any valid PCB file. Anyone know any better
way around this so that if it cannot find a valid .pcb file, it will
open as a new (blank) file ?.

I dont know if this in any way relates to your problem but I had similar
issues running 99SE under XP. The problem was related to file permissions
set by our PITA company IT guys............
