Which OS ? Are you running as administrator ?
Hi,
My Pic simulator started crashing a while ago, so I updated it to the latest version. This installed ok, but now the computer crashes every time. This is as I try to compile a program. I tried the simplest 2 line program and it still happens.
Cheers, Camerart.
Make sure UAC is turned off...
Can you tell me what UAC is please, so I can check?

hi,
Did you delete the old version of the PIC IDE Sim program , before installing the new version.??
Are you using the 16F version of the Sim.??
That is strange.
Look at Post #2 in this link.

!!! Important note for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 users !!!: After you have installed an application and want to start it for the first time, you need to right-click on the application shortcut in Windows Start menu and choose 'Run as administrator' command, otherwise the error message 'Unexpected error; quitting' will be displayed. This step should be performed only once. Every other time the application can be started by a standard double-click on its shortcut with left mouse button.
It is possible that the problem is in a file called edittextbropro.dll. The date on it is the same as when I installed the first picsimulatoride program, and didn't change when I updated it. I dared to dig deep into the computer files, and when I changed the name of this file, the program crashed at the opening of the basic compiler page.
I'm not sure if this is a bit too deep, but maybe someone knows what is actually happening.
Until this is fixed (which would be more convenient) I'll continue to use the simulator in virtualbox.
Hi
So...since it worked in virtual box, that's the same thing as running the program in a new windows install.
If you already have the latest win 7 service pack installed, try re-installing it. Otherwise, install the latest windows service pack. I suggest this because it seems there is a problem with Win OS files, and the service pack replaces many of them...it might fix it.

The other thing you need to try.... Install it to the "USERS" directory.... You don't seem to have access rights to the "program files" directory... When you try to compile the program.. It needs to save the file... If the program HASN'T got privileges it will bomb out as you compile.
Take a copy of your code and create a folder in "My Documents" run and compile from this location.... It should work...
