Compiler problems

[BobEdge]

Hi

I am using the latest mplab, & latest micro code studio (downloaded yesterday), and version 2.4.5.0 of PBPW.EXE

I get this message when I try to compile any program on any chip
"fatal: out of memory (pbpw.exe)"

It worked ok this morning, but now it wont work.

Can anyone please help?

Hi BobEdge,

If you do not have a virus and you are sure; becasue viruses love dos compatible *.exe files, then I can only think of compatibility issue.

1. Find pbpw.exe under your PBP directory.
2. Right click it => properties => compatibility.
3. "Check" the box where it says run this with Windows 95 compatible mode.

But still, your problem seems that you have a virus.

Yup it could be this or

Why do I get an "out of memory" error when I try to compile?

Compiling large PicBasic Pro source code files can tax the memory of the PC running the compiler. If an Out of Memory error is issued, an alternate version of PBP can be used. PBPW.EXE has been compiled to make use of all of the memory available to Windows 95, 98, NT and 2000. You must, of course, be running in a DOS shell from one of those Windows environments or within Microchip's MPLAB. To execute the Windows version from the DOS command line, simply substitute PBPW for PBP.

Hi guys,

There is deffo no virus. Micro code studio is trying to use PBPW.EXE, this is what the error message says. "fatal: out of memory (pbpw.exe)"

I cant understand why it worked this morning but not now. Nothing has been changed on the computer.
