Ihsan, I got same problem before with mplab6 my fix was Reinstalling it. Andre -----Original Message----- Hi I have started to use MPLAB 6.0 but when I build a porject with success a pop-up message indicates that : The file C:\picasm\serial\serial.COD could not be loaded because the format as indicated by its extension was not recognized. (I don't understand why it does not recognize the file extension which is already associated with MPLAB in Windows. I checked the extension and it was associated with MPLAB.) And after this when I step into simulation my code dosent seem to work. But in MPLAB 5.7 it was simulating fine. Can anyone help me about overcoming this problem?
