Working fine for me - both on XP Home preloaded, and overloaded... and also on XP Pro and Win2k

If you overloaded XP, try reinstalling PET.

Try running it in one of the XP compatibility modes - right click the .exe to see the options.

Cheers

PET is optimized for use in 1280x1024. It works fine higher, but not lower - clipping occurs.
