Compiler problems

[BobEdge]

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.

and rebooting didn't solve the problem?

I remind to have this problem before on another computer... i can't confirm if it was a windows installation or else..

i'll try to dig in the forum first.

Hi again,

Thanks for all your help.

I got it to work but I dont know how exactly. It was not the compatability thing tried win95, and win 2000. no joy. Reboot had no effect, re installing MC Studio had no effect. Also it was not a memory issue, system resource logging proved that.

I saved the file on the c drive & compiled from there using MPASM, and it worked, but I have problems with MPASM, so I unchecked use MPASM, and it worked.

So I then saved the bas file on the server, which has a very long file extension tree, with all the same settings as before, and bingo.

Very confused about what was wrong, but at least it works now.

Again thanks for your help
Regards
Bob...

OK, so i remind something about the length of the path but can't confirm the maximum allowed. 60-68 character or something like that

I usually keep my stuff close to the root... something like c:\pbp_Prog

One thing to watch for is "special" folders like "My Documents" which although they appear to be high level folders are already

C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\My Documents which is 39 characters PLUS the length of your user name and thats before you start adding folders like "\pic\{projectname}\{projectfile}.bas !!!
