    MicroCode Studio works just fine with Windows7-64.
    That's what I have at work.

    When installing, be sure to Right-Click the install program and "Run as Administrator.
    Even if you are logged in as an administrator "user".
    Don't let it just AutoRun when you put the CD in.
    It needs to write several Registry keys that requires a higher permission level than some computers are setup for..

    PM.exe, the default assembler that comes with PicBasic Pro is a 16-bit program.
    It will not run on a 64-bit system (except in a virtual XP).
    So be sure to use MPASM for the assembler stage.

    I am beginning to think there may be something wrong my machine. The other day, writing parameters to a 485 buss DPM and I think it corrupted the calibration memory of a couple temperature panel meters. That area of memory was not supposed to be accessable to the user. Just after writing to it the scaling and zero went all off.

    With MSC+ I thought I did as advised on the install but am not sure anymore. The battery is dead and charger at work so will need to try remove and reinstall tomorrow to see if it helps. Is there anything special that I should do to remove??

    The randomness of the program failures on startup are strange. I get appcrash in the details of the fault and it is in areas of different modules not the same faults every time. Only consistant is that it seems to do it right on startup of the program.

    So whats up with microsoft anyway. I wonder why they left out support for HID devices in the legacy devices for XP VM. I saw some other users with the same complaint with foot pedals and other hardware that is unavailable in that mode as well. Makes it kind of useless if you can't see hardware.

    Default further notes on failure in mcs+ PBPro

    So in trying to isolate the fault in my software I found that when PBP is installed and selected in the compiler options is when I get the fault on startup. If I install the PBP demo from the X1 tutorial CD and point the complier to it all is fine. But the demo isn't what I want to use...
    The ApplicationError that shows up is

    Exception EInvalidPointer in module CodeStudioPlus.exe at 00018DC2
    Invalid pointer operation

    Do you think my CD can be bad?

    Scottie,

    I haven't seen that error before.
    But i was wondering if you could try the free version 4.0.0.0 and see if it gives the same error.

    You can have both the free and plus versions installed at the same time.
