    I still have X10 on one of my machines and it looks like your window frames are all messed up.  I could make them go away by turning off the frame completely or by setting the depth and inset values to 0.  Apparently, X15 works much better than X6 in this case.

     

    That worked!!  Not sure why that was set like shown here. But it could be the Profile that is causing that.  It's been such a long time setting anything in a default window setting. I'll have to track back and look at some jobs. Thank You, DBCooper!  Thank You, all!

    I recently bought a brand new gaming computer with XP pro installed on it for Archiving purposes. I got it from eBay. I have never seen XP work so fast.

     

    I installed CAV9.5 & 10 on it but I had to install the HASP driver manually from the actual dongle. All works good now. I spent $800 AU or approximately $500 USD because I have heaps of plans stored in CAV10 and earlier.

     

    To move my legacy plans and layouts to later versions of CA, I open them in X8 and save them, then work on them in that version or later if possible.

     

    Not a simple exercise.

     

    Hey mth97,

     

    Couldn't you just plot a PDF of the layouts for filing those projects and leave the CAD files where they are until you really need them? 

    I have setup a New Layout file for the newer Chief X6. I then copy the .PL* plans to an X6 file folder THEN import them.  The existence of an X6 folder in the project folder indicates their maybe something for this project elsewhere. I copy them as Chief has a nasty habit of cutting those PL* files and place them elsewhere. Then all you have to is resend those prints to your newer layout. once you've place them into their new file folders.

    Windows XP is still the third most used operating system worldwide but I would NEVER use it for internet browsing as it has way too many security weaknesses for that these days. But is fully capable of supporting applications that were designed to run within it.

    My XP gets less and less functions with the browsers IE is gone, Chrome is now taking away sites or says my system clock is wrong?, Mozzila FireFox tries but they are limiting it too. And MyPal is getting really buggy.  I surf mainly with the Firestick, doesn't do downloads!

    I am going to read this thread in my own time, but some of you guys need to record your successes and upload to YouTube!  $$$  My new expert tool in a click on the Firestick!! I call my XP the work horse with running 9.5 as I can't produce fast enough with X6 on my Windows 8 / 8.5 /Now 10?!?!?  So many more clicks in drawing.

     

    I got the hardware lock to turn on in Windows 10 and so it gives me the Blue Screen of Death...  So that ended me trying to run in compatibility mode. I need to YouTube Dual Boot.  I had one before but my friend set it up.   OOOOooooooh!!! Which one to select... Windows 95 or 98??? You'd think something called XP for Extra Power would've been the end all?  Do you see what "THEY" are doing to us?
