Windows 7 64 bit problem..can anyone help???

[ljc4141]

im trying to run MCSP 3.0.0.5 and PBP 2.47 on windows 7. I've managed to fix other problems with the compiler and the version of MCSP using these links

http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/show...ight=windows+7

http://www.mecanique.co.uk/code-stud...de_notice.html

now when i compile i get "c:\pbp\PM.EXE cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit version of Windows"

i tried changing the compatibility mode for PM.EXE and tried using as administrator with my regular log in and logged in as administrator but i still get the same error.

anyone have any ideas????? I've searched but cannot find any....
thanks

Hi,
You can not use PM as the assembler when using 64bit version of Windows, you must use MPASM.

/Henrik.

[ljc4141]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finally everything is right and now i can use my new laptop

For anyone having problems with X64 programs/drivers etc.
I have a programmer that would not run on Vista x64. Xeltek 3000U
Xeltek does not support new operating systems for this.
I installed Windows 7, downloaded and installed Windows Virtual XP (it's free)
Everything runs great.

really
is there compability with vista 64 bit computer?
Help?

[mat janssen]

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 computer.
I run PBP 2.60 as the compiler.
I use MPASM as the asembler.
I use PICKIT2 as the programmer.
And I use (please don't laugh) CDlite as the editor (I' am an oldfashion guy ).
I do make several different programms a month.
And I dont have any problems at all.

So Windows 7 64bit is a great operating system.

[quantum]

I have a vista 64 bit windows computer.
I use MCS plus 3.0.0.5
I use PBP 2.50 and PBP 2.60
But I have a problem
This is problem.

[mat janssen]

Als already said in this topic:
USE MPASM instead of PM.
Then the problem is gone.

Hi All,

I changed my PC and installed W7/64.

So I reinstalled all my software (MCS, PBP2.60A, MPLAB an PICKIT2) and set them up as state in the previous posts.

In MCS, now using MPLAB to compile, I get a bunch of errors I didn't have before.

Can anyone explain what I have to do?

[Darrel Taylor]

What are the error's that are being reported?

[flotulopex]

That would be one of the codes I'm working on and that was not generating any error in MCS while on Win XP:

DEVICE is for the PM assembler, which you can't use with 64-bit systems.

With MPASM you need to use __CONFIG.

See this page ...
http://melabs.com/support/config_defaults.htm

[flotulopex]

Thanks Darrel.

Shall I change all my codes or simply go back to a 32 bits system?

Just demotivating...

[flotulopex]

Well then...

I tried following code that still generates errors:

@ __config  _FCMEN_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _BOD_OFF & _CPD_OFF &  _PROTECT_OFF & _MCLR_OFF & _PWRT_OFF & _WDT_OFF &  _XT_OSC

And here's the error list:


Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or missing?

[flotulopex]

Actually, I noticed the syntax change in my PIC's INC file so I corrected as follow:

@ __config _FCMEN_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _BOR_OFF & _CPD_OFF & _CP_OFF & _MCLRE_OFF & _PWRTE_OFF & _WDT_OFF & _XT_OSC

Nevertheless, I still get an error message:

[Darrel Taylor]

You need to comment the default __CONFIG in the 16F690.inc in your PBP folder.
Use a semicolon.

[flotulopex]

Thanks Darrel,

It works fine now ;-)
