I used to have my month-old ME programmer working with Windows XP, my computer died, and my new computer won't run the programmer.

My new computer has Windows 7 (it seems that you can't buy a new computer with Windows XP on it anymore). I installed PicBasicPro3 on it, and the MELabs USB programmer, and I get the message "Programmer not found". I uninstalled all of it, and re-installed it all on the Windows XP Mode of Win7, and I still get the same message. I can compile the program using MicroCodeStudio through MPASM, generate the hex file, but it doesn't seem to recognize the programmer like my previous computer did.

Can anybody help me please? I would love to start using the programmer again and continue with my project.

I am using:
MicroCode Studio v5.0.0.0
compiler PBP3 v3.0.1.4
MPASM v5.42
MeLabs Programmer USB v4.40
PIC18F252

Thank you.
