That I would expect as most of them use dedicated drivers for the various
display cards that have been out there.  I've got Orcad and Protel and I'd
expect both of them to fail with XP for that reason. I'll note that there
have been many different "standards" that have made it out to the
video world and yet, they still keep on coming out with new
"standards" rather than expanding one that still exists. Bob May
