| ICD-U40 won't launch from PCW, Access Violation crashes PCW |

I am no longer able to launch the ICD-U40 debugger from PCW. It used to, before I enabled one of the mouse-over functions in the debugger config window.
In PCW I go to Debug -> Enable Debugger. The debugger screens open, followed by a separate ICD Start Connection box. When I click Connect the box disappears briefly then reappears. When I click Abort, one of two things happen: either PCW abruptly closes, or I get a PCWH error box that says: "Access violation at address 007D5484 in module 'Pcw.exe' Read of address 0000000C." When I click OK in this error box, PCW abruptly closes.
Since the debugger window never completely opens, I can't try turning off the mouse-over function that I turned on. I looked for an ini file that might contain the settings, but didn't find anything.
Last week I was having this problem, but I found that I could recover by using the ICD to program a part. This would launch the external ICD program, which works fine. After that, the debugger would work again for a while.
But today, that workaround has completely stopped working. Now I'm unable to debug my project at all.
I tried reinstalling PCW, no difference.
ARRGGGGG. :( I have a deadline looming, and I'm almost done the project... this is EXTREMELY annoying. Any suggestions on how to get my debugger working would be much appreciated. I really need break points and the watch window to get through this.
Thanks so much.

The mouse-over setting might be in a file somewhere within the PCWH
directory, or it could be in the Registry.
You could save your license file (.CRG) in a safe place, un-install
PCWH, and then open a dos window and DelTree the compiler directory.
If the settings are in a file in that directory, this would clear them.
Then re-install PCWH, copy your .CRG file back into the directory,
and run PCWH. If the mouse-over is still active, then the settings are
likely in the Windows Registry. You could search the Registry for the
word 'CCS' or 'PCWH' or 'PCW'. Maybe look for a Debugger section.
Or just delete all the settings that you find, and then re-install PCWH.
(Possibly backup the registry first, if you're not familiar with editing it). |

Thank you!
I did a complete unininstall and reinstall, and have managed to recover. (Too bad working late last night resulted in f&*^&%$g with the debugger instead of getting the job done.)
Thanks again!

| It's a FTDI USB conflict... |

I've finally realized that these problems arise whenever I am using any other USB device that has an FTDI chip in it, including DMX converters from Enttec, Maxstream RF Development boards, and more.
The current conflict arises with the Maxstream XBIB-U board. A real problem since I'm developing a wireless device and need this rf unit in place for testing.
Anybody else having this problem? Is there a workaround so PCW will connect to the ICD-U40 when other FTDI-based USB devices are online?

P.S. The ICD program connects without a problem, it's only PCW that won't. I can program chips with ICD, but can't debug from PCW if other FDTI-based devices are online.
