I thought you may have been using Win98 -- I hated doing development work with CodeWright, and MPLAB under Win98 -- had to reboot many times a day to reclaim lost resources. I'm having a much better time with Windows XP Pro. Looks like you are in good shape as far as your OS and memory is concerned. Maybe you will have better luck with MPLAB v6.32. Good luck -- sorry I could not help you. Best regards, Ken Pergola -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.
