    Problem with ORCAD 16.3 - PSPICE toolbar is disabled Reply
    Hi guys, I'm new to ORCAD and in fact I just finished installing release 16.3 and its hotfix. I drew a very basic circuit but PSPICE toolbar remains grayed out all the time. I'm using Windows 7 x64 with UAC disabled and I have full administrative rights on my computer. Any ideas?

    Hi Sardis,

    It seems that you have not choosen project type "Analog or Mixed A/D". PSpice toolbar get enabled only if the project type is "Analog or Mixed A/D".

     When you make a new project i.e. File --> New Project. A Window appears asking for the name of the project and type of the project. Choose "Analog or Mixed A/D" option. Now, you find the PSpice toolbar enabled.

    Thanks,

    Sorabh Dung

    Thanks Sorabh. I thought I'm having compatibility issues since I'm using Windows 7 x64. Thanks again

    Hi Sardis, You need to start your capture program once with Administrative privileges to get the the simulation buttons active. Right click the program, "Run as Administrator". Thereafter you can invoke the program as normal user. Hope this helps. Thanks, Le
