Problems with MicroCode Studio version MSCX

[Ioannis]

As I asked before, is it the ONLY program that crashes? Did you experienced any other issues with your PC?

Are the settings the defaults, for example pagefile, virtual memory etc?

If you run Task Manager, do you have enough memory free?

Hi, Yes, MCSX is the only program that crashes. The PC works without other problems. I would try another computer, but my wife's laptop is my only available option, and that could cause marital discord.

I don't know much about managing computer resources. Everything is as came with Windows XP, as far as I know.

I'm not familiar with the Task Manager. When run, it lists the Physical memory as;
Total 2.35 mb
Available 1.61
System cache 1.19

I am not an expert on windows too. But you might try something just in case.

You might need the CD of Windows with this.

From Command prompt window run sfc /scanonce (More about this here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d....mspx?mfr=true)

This will check your Windows system files for corruption and replace them either from your hard drive or from your CD.

I think that this tool can run if you are loged in as admininstrator only.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Ioannis, sfc/scanonce not found on my computer. I think sfc is a XP Professional Edition function not the Home Edition that I have.

The problem remains and is isolated to MCSX. As mentioned earlier the older MCS and all other programs work okay.

Henrick, When I right click I'm not getting an Administrator option.

Sorry, my bad, I was in "Windows 7 mode". I'm afraid I don't have any more ideas, I sincerely hope you get it resolved one way or another.

The sfc.exe is present on all windows. Are you sure you cannot find it?

If it is not on yours, then I suppose other files are missing too...

How about a re-install of windows?

Ioannis, I found and ran the system file checker. A search disclosed the correct format to be: sfc.exe /scannow. Followed this with a Windows Update. The result is the same: MSCX stops running, coughs out the same error message. I thank you and Henrick for you suggestions, but it appears something is wrong with MCSX.
