I finally relented and switched from XP to Win7 on my main computer. All's well except MPLAB X won't run. There's no error, it shows the busy cursor for 4 seconds and then nothing. I'v tried the windows compatibility stuff, to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike.

Some times it's necessary to "Install" as Administrator as well as just "Run as" Administrator..

Managed to get it working. I re-installed but this time I installed XC8 at the same time as MPLABX. It might be just coincidence but if anyone else has this problem give it a try.
