    Hi Art,

    Curious about how old your MPLAB is. I got my PICSTART+ around ten years ago and MPLAB supported it then.

    So far I have only used a PICKIT2 on Win7 and have not had any problems there.

    As Darrel mentions, the problem is not with Win7, but with MPLAB versions later than 8.15a in conjunction with MCStudio.

    Compiles work fine, but during the assembly process, a CMD window opens and it eventually completes successfully. I just takes a looooooooong time.

    I have heard that Mchip is aware of the problem and will fix it in a soon-to-be-released version.

    Hi, Charles

    Not only MCS !!! MPLAB takes quite the same time to "build" the Hex ... ( I tried the same program with both : no major difference !!! )

    but I prefer the MPASM progress bar ... colours are nice ! ( lol )

    and I still use XP SP 3 ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

    I'm using 5.70.00 dated 2001 on my desktop. There's no Programmer drop down menu in it.
    I had an MPLAB version 6.xx on my hard drive from a while back though, and I got that working ok with PBP.
