pcb navigator
hello
i met a problem with pcbnavigator.
i have a orcad schematic and i need to place route in pads2005.
so i use pcbnavigator to sync each other.
but some thing happend
1.everytime i open the opj file in pcbnavigator, and select the design ,then there is always a RETRY(重试 in chinese) prompt coming out. i must wait the RETRY coming ,and then i press the OK（确定 in chinese）buton then it can be all right following .but if i press OK before the RETRY prompt coming out ,the PCBNavigator stops ,and nothing done at all. why ? i donnot know.
2.for some project ,PCBNavigator can still work even the problem above exists.
but some are not that lucky. i got a project from my boss,and there is an error when i open it in PCBNavigator ,and here is the error info :
D:\Program Files\orcad\tools\capture\PCBNavigator5.1\edif.exe: edif

the project has no error when preforimg DRC.
so what does it mean by that syntax error .
here is part of the edn file :

ps:
my pads is version 2005 ,not pads2005sp2.
PCBNavigator is version 5.1
orcad is version 10.5sp1
i have only the schematic from my boss,and no user library.
what may be the problem ,i was puzzled.
please help me , and thanks a lot.
