MCS is Crashing

[picster]

Do you copy some text from the datasheet PDF and then paste to MCS? Not sure but I used to had crashes when doing it...

Maybe the windows clipboard is including the font formatting and it's also messing up the in-line font processing?

I just did a test on Windows 10 64bit home edition. I always used italics and colours for comments with Win XP 32bit, Win7 64bit and now Win10 64bit (default MCSP settings), never a problem.

Copied in text from PDFs, made them comments, compiled no problem.
Copied in fuse settings and made them code, compiled no problem.

I checked my MCSP shortcut, I do not run it as administrator or any other compatibility setting.

There must be more involved, we're still missing something.

Compiling has never caused problems for me, NEVER had any when sitting idle, and ***always always always WHILE TYPING!!!*** This strongly suggests to me that there's some issue with processing the keystrokes, and the text on the screen is obviously continuously "reassessed" to display it in the configured font/color. That's my "working theory". As I recall, there was a suggestion about video drivers as well, a while back - Nvidia being questioned as potentially part of the issue, but I couldn't test it on a non-Nvidia machine (although I tried running with my alternate "slow" graphics card on the dual-graphics equipped machine and it still crashed).

i have only one idea, did you install MCSP and PBP as administrator?

I might have, don't remember. It might be possible for the install to be incomplete if the installation package did not have necessary admin rights. I do know several software have varying levels of problems with Win10.

I just cannot install properly PaintShop Pro XI using Win10 64bit. Looks like I'll be forced to bite that bullet and get and upgrade even though I am very content with that old version.
