Issues with SIOW under Windows 7 64 bits |

Hi !
I just got a new laptop, which had Windows 7 (64 bits) preinstalled. I installed my good "old" version of CCS Compiler on it (PCW 4.104) : no problem, wizard runned successfully. I opened some old projects, compiled them, and still no problem. But, when I open SIOW, I get error messages, again and again, until I kill the process in the task manager.
Is there a compatibility problem ? Or is it a misconfiguration on my computer (I'm fairly new to Windows 7) ? I tried to use Hyperterminal instead, but I discovered that Hyperterminal is no longer provided with Windows...
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks,
Christophe. |

I just built a new computer with Win 7 64 bit version and SIOW works with it perfectly. However, the version of SIOW I'm using is the old one that shipped as part of the version 3.x PCWH compiler package.
If your laptop lacks an old style COM port, that may explain why SIOW is locking on you. If you have a USB-COM adapter, try plugging that in first before starting SIOW - it may not hang if it finds a COM port upon startup. |
