    Mister_e, you've given Vista a serious hard knock there. Wondering if you might be willing to "elaborate" a bit on your dislikes about it.

    It's just my own opinion based on many post i saw here and there + blend mix of local people i know here. But like everything... you hear more about bad comments than good.

    I don't like to use MicroSoft product within at least 1-2 years after their initial Official release date. But it's me.

    I havent used Vista properly yet and have no intention of installing it on any of my PCs. In fact I think only one of my PCs would actually meet the required specification.

    I have seen the glitzy interface on PCs in the shops but at the moment XP Pro does everything I want my PC to do.

    I have used a Vista machine once when I was trying to sort out a friends email problems. The first hurdle I encountered was that I couldnt see "Run" anywhere on the start menu.

    Flash of inspiration..."WindowsKey + R" rings up the Run dialogue box. Type "cmd" and got a command prompt. Great

    Type "Telnet"

    'Telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    At that point I went to the XP machine in the same room to use Telnet

    I have seen reports that sevral of the programs that are important to me will not run on Vista so for the time being I am steering well clear of it.

    I dont see the point in upgrading just for the sake of it

    Thanks Luciano

    I actually saw that last week but that was a week after I needed it.

    Microsoft actually seem to be making PCs more difficult to use for anything other than mainstream tasks. Its bad enough that a basic install of XP puts "pretty" views of control panel etc. First thing I do is switch to classic view so that I can see what I am looking for. LOL

    I know that DOS is dead but the command line still has its uses when you are trying to find out why you are having internet problems etc using ping, tracert, ipconfig etc. especially when the help Wizards dont help !!!

    Regards

    Actually yes, I made it work. The problem is that I don't remember what I did.
    I believe I set it to run (MPLAB and PBPW) as WinXP compatible, but I don't remember what else I did. I will check my computer with Vista later today and if I remember what I did I will post it here (right now I am at the WinXP computer).

(WINDOWS VISTA users may need to right-click the bat file in My Computer or Windows Explorer and select "Run As Administrator".

    Restart MPLAB for the changes to take effect.

    Default Thanks, but I tried that

    gabrielg74 and mister_e,

    I had already tried both of your suggestions, but to no avail. I'll be contacting both MELabs and Microchip for suggestions.

    Thank you both,

    Sam

    I remember now, when I tried to run the bat file it just opened briefly a DOS window, but nothing seemed to happen. Then I run it as Admin and then it worked.

    Default That was it..

    I tried that multiple times, but..here is what I did to finally get it to work. I'm not sure which things did it and which had no affect, so I'll post everything.

    I set compatibility to win98 for all executables
    I ran command prompt as administrator, then ran the bat file.

    Thanks for your persistance.
