Linear Technologies "Switchercad" spice simulator is in my opinion, the best free simulator available today (And I've tried a dozen or so..)

Here is the URL:

Multisim is not at all the best simulator in my opinion. What they charge for a professional version amounts to highway robbery and it's just not that good. It doesn't offer many of the simulation options & types and in my opinion, I think the GUI is pretty user hostile. I might consider seriously using it if it were free (might)

ok, then i suggest you to download it by Emule program ( you can search for proteus through this program)..
Emule is a special program for downloading files and documents... if you don't have Emule you can download it from :

http://compnetworking.about.com/od/p...ledownload.htm

try, but for me i couldn't download Emule , may be there's something wrong with my PC or from the website itself , i don't know!!

good luck!

I love Livewire. It is somewhat limited, but for beginning to intermediate hobbyists, it's a great learning tool :
