OK - I tried blowing all the MPLAB versions off of my WinMe computer and = installing Ver. 6.62. I am still getting the same pair of strange messages at start-up - the = first is that a message couldn't be sent because of a bad ID, then a = message saying it is unable to initialize the legacy language suite at = some CLSID. This pair actually repeats, for a total of four error = messages.=20 After clicking through them the program works OK. On my Win2K computer = here at work, using the same Ver 6.62, the messages don't appear. I = can't find anything about this behavior in the MicroChip knowledge base, = but that application at their website doesn't operate very smoothly. Any ideas anyone has on this will be appreciated Roy J.
