Hello all, Six months ago MPLAB X worked fine on my system. I didn't use it=20 until last week. When I tried to use MPLAB X my system froze up. I had=20 to do a hard reset to regain control. I have a Tyan S2885 Thunder mother board with dual AMD Opteron 250=20 processors running at 2.4 GHz. There is 2 GB of ram on the motherboard=20 and I have over a TB of hard drive space. I am running XP with SP-3 and=20 the rest of updates installed. Can anyone please help me fix my problem with MPLAB X? MPLAB 8.x=20 works fine. So does MPLAB 5.x and the rest of my programs. Because of=20 this problem and a problem with a spyware program I did a complete clean=20 reinstall of XP last week. Thanks, rich! --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
