Guys,

I'm having a problem with a new PC running Windows 2000.

I use a FlexBDM JTAG cable to develop for (ahem!) a Mot. HC12. It's a
parallel port jtag interface, and it's been working fine on my PC.

After installing MPLAB this morning with the MPLAB-ICE option ticked, my
flex refused to work.

I tried reinstalling flex and it's NT driver, but that didn't fix the
problem so I reverted to a previous Ghost image and flex worked again. Up
until this point I hadn't considered that the MPLAB installation had caused
the problem -- the flex failure occurred immediately after installing an
Intellimouse driver -- so I duly installed MPLAB (again, with the MPLAB-ICE
option ticked), Flex then stopped working again, absolutely identical to the
first time.

The error reported by flex is that it is unable to program clock synch due
to comms failure. The last message in the event log before the flex failure
event message is a message from the mplabice service that it has
reconfigured my ECP port -- as this is the same port that flex uses, this
looks like the cause of the error. I cannot, however, find a way of fixing
the error.

I'd like to fix this without reverting again to the Ghost image if possible.
Any suggestions? (yeah, yeah, don't use Win 2k, I know...)




Regards,

- Andy.
