Protel 3.0 Client problem in XP

[martin.shoebridge]

In the PCB package, I can't execute edit/select/holesize to select various
hole sizes so I can globally change them - i.e. 28 thou vias to 32thou vias.
I can do this on my win 98 machine.
I have wiped my client on my XP machine and cloned the 98 system onto my XP
machine ( inc.files stored in the windows folder.)
I have tried to run the program in 'win98 compatibility mode and still it
persists.
Is it possible that the program 'HOLESIZE.BAS will not execute under XP ?
Did win98 have a resident basic interpreter ?
TIA.

Found out a bit more.... the server 'Query.ins' is not loading on
start-up....but I can load it manually and then it all works.....
