 | | Ldraw and Ledit in windows xp?
|
|
I just got a new computer for christmas. Unfortuantely it has windows xp on it and won't run many of my old programs, including Ldraw, Ledit, and LeoCad. Has anyone found a way to get these programs to run in xp? (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

I made a quick test of Leocad under XP, works (almost) fine. The only quirk I got was with part preview window that was half black. But this problem is solved by slightly resizing it. Are you sure you tested latest version, previous one didn't work (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I get a Run Time Error 200...and the patch seems to have disappeared from ldraw.org. In any case, I can't find a link to it. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu www.bldesign.org (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

I just re-checked with a freshly downloaded 0.73 version. It worked fine (except part preview as said previously) on a Celeron 633, 192Mb Ram, Matrox G200 and Windows XP Professional "version 2002" US. How does it behave on your computer ? Philo (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) IMPORTANT NOTE! If you install ldraw027.exe over top of your current ldraw installation, you will end up with some parts being replaced with *older* versions. To avoid this, save and run ldraw027.exe somewhere *other* than C:\.[1] Then copy (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I got a 1.1 ghz Celeron with 384 megs of ram. When I double click on the Leocad icon nothing happens. The program doesn't run, it just sits there. When I put it in an incorect directory though it did gripe about not having the parts library. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)

Could it be a video board and/or video driver problem ? I doubt it could be a wrong XP. I'll try monday (at work... no XP at home !) on another machine. Philo (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad)
