MicroCodeStudioPlus keeps crashing.

[Dave]

I'm Sorry but I believe there is something else that is loaded on your machines that is creating the problems. I have used MCS since back when PBP2.6 was around (even before this thread was started) and have used MCPX since PBP3.0 shipped. I now use MCSPX with PBP 3.1 and have NEVER had MCSPX or and previously available version crash. I currently have licenses for and loaded on 1 XP machine 2 Windows 7 machines and 1 Windows 10 machine. Maybe you all should start looking somewhere else for the problem. IMHO...

Does this problem happen also in Windows safe mode?

[Dave]

I never run Windows in safe mode. No need....

[Ioannis]

Dave, I was asking picster if had tried to run Windows in Safe Mode and see if the MCS still crashes.

Ioannis

[Dave]

Sorry for my interruption Ioannis, I thought you were talking to me....

[Ioannis]

No problem. I should have directed to picster.

Running in Safe Mode is a good way to check if other programs do interfere in the MCS operation.

How do you get Windows 10 to run in Safe Mode? I don't have issues with MCS, but Visual Studio hangs on me. If I run Debug, stop Debug, make changes and try to build & Debug again, 2 files cannot overwrite. I have to shut VS down and start it again to get Debug to work. Maybe Safe Mode would help this.

Trying now, running it after a "clean boot" process (via msconfig dialog/tabs/checkboxes)... will report back.

Nope, still crashes. Same old same old. Trying it in Safe Mode is somewhat pointless seeing as the visual interface will be horrendous, it's not anywhere near usable that way.

Maybe I'll try sandboxing it.

It's not pointless if it helps find the problem. Nobody was suggesting that as a permanent solution. These problems are usually incompatibility with a driver somewhere.

[Ioannis]

OK, safe mode did not help. What Antivirus you have installed? While offline can you disable it?

Microsoft Security Essentials. Already tried disabling it and unfortunately, MCS crashes regardless.

Yes but it's unusable in safe mode. Sometimes it will go a few days or so without crashing. Other times it will crash 3 times in 10 minutes. With the level of tech support provided, if it works in safe mode, the conclusion will only be "use it in safe mode" and I'm not at all willing to do that. Have you SEEN your screen in safe mode lately?
