PBP transfer

[Ron Marcus]

Here's an interesting one... My old laptop's screen died. I bought a new mini laptop to replace it for travel. I put my registered PBP2.50a onto the new unit along with my Melabs programmer software and Microcode studios. It all runs fine, until I compile. The old computer compiles and gives me 312 words of working code for the 16F628a.
The new one compiles and gives me over 800 words of code. The hex code is different also.Needless to say, the new version does not work. The setup is exactly the same for both computers, for compiler , assembler and editor. Exactly! They are both Windows XP units. I tried running both MPASM assembler and PBP. Any ideas? I'm stumped!
Thanks,
Ron

Ron,

I hate to see that someone else is having the same or similar problem but at least I know I'm not singularly crazy!

I'm seeing the same thing with my system. The only difference being that it's on the computer that I've been using without issue for the last year and a half. You can look at the thread I started "What have I done now".

I just posted two hex samples to try to see what's going on. You might want to go under my thread and post samples of working and non working hex files compiled from the same code for comparison. We might be able to figure out if it's a common root cause. And at least you have an old computer that is still able to create working hex files, if I understand you right.

Thanks,
Hylan
