    Bruce, if you would be so kind, would you please put your cursor on each of the four icons on the right end of the 1st Tool Bar line of your version of MCS+ and then tell me what their individual descriptions are? Once I know what these missing icons are for I want to ask mechanique why they don't appear on my version of 3.0.0.5 when running XP.
    Thanks!

    Those are icons for the MCS+ boot-loader. Loader Read, Verify, Erase, Information.

    Default Prn Ioblem solved!

    Thanks to Darrel Taylor's response at techsupport assitant at meLabs, I have solved this mysterious problem. Let me explain, because this may be encountered by other users of the Micro Code Studio Plus (MCS+) ICD.

    It turns out that the ICD model that came on my CD-ROM that delivered MCS+ to me was not correct for the 18F4550. Darrel had downloaded this .inc file from the Beta models and emailed it to me. When I replaced the ICD model I had for the 18F4550 with the one he sent I started seeing Variables Tab.
    The icons I thought I was missing in the tool bar only show when using a boot loader, as explained by Bruce Rentron in above post.
    Chasing down this problem took 3 days out of my time....no thanks to Mecanique's tech support who never responded to my emailed request for support.

    That was one of my suspicions, but I'm glad you got it sorted.

    Post #15 above;
    or maybe a bad ICD model file?
    no thanks to Mecanique's tech support who never responded to my emailed request for support.
    Bummer, but that does reinforce my little ending blurb in post #10 above...;o)

    It seems to be an on-off kind of thing. Or it depends on if it involves any sort of time-investment for them/him, I don't know.

    When I had problems with MCS+ and Win7-64 I emailed them and got zero response but thanks to Darrel and Charles that problem too got sorted. A month or so later I emailed Mecanique again inquiring about a bootloader file I didn't have and got a response (and file) within hours.
