Yes - Works well. In a network environment you will need everyone on the network to be using Windows XP. Also we have had problems with Adobe Print, We had to install P3 service pack 2 and change some adobe print settings.

I can confirm what Sonia says....P3 3.1 with XP SP2 works well. There is/was a problem that Microsoft disabled the 16-bit subsystem in one of the hotfixes by removing the autoexec.nt file from the c:\windows\system32 folder causing ALL 16-bit apps to fail. Copy the autoexec.nt file from c:\winodws\repair to the system32 folder to correct this fault. Both the MS and Primavera knowledgebases have this info.

P3 ver 3.1 only works with Windows XP - and not earlier versions of P3. P3 works without any problem even if XP sevice pack 2 is installed..
(once I faced problem when installed XP SP2, where P3 was already installed..but lateron when I has to reinstall P3, it worked well, even though XPs SP 2 is still there..)

Thanks. But if SP2 is installed on my machine - can i bring it back down to SP 1?

It works well in XP environment with SP1, so far no trouble.

Fact is: P3 works much better with MS Windows XP when SP2 is NOT installed.
