    Default Good quality working crystal balls are in short supply.

    Why are you using MPLAB 5 when the current version is 8 ?

    Past that you question is not clear. Do you get a blue screen when you start MPLAB or when you restart the laptop.

    Regardless download the current version of MPLAB and try it again. If you still have a problem post again and be very specific. Advoid: it them and thingy ? What OS is on the laptop.

    Almost certainly not - and your teacher has no excuse for trying to use an antique version of MPLAB.

    I agree with Nigel. The reacher is WRONG to be teaching with such an old version, esp since the software is free.

    I would go so far as to say he is not doing his job.

    and i also want to defend him cuz i sound mean.. actually, our teacher was pressured to work as a teacher after he passed the board exam. our department lost 5 teachers [very very good instructors] so they were desperate. our teacher just started teaching himself the new version so we got to stick the old version still.. unlucky us...
