Complete Mikro Compiler Failure - SOLVED

[Bill Legge]

I have the three C compilers for PIC, dsPIC and PIC32.
I've used them OK for some years - but now all three fail to work:
1. Show an error on loading - see attached bug report
2. They will load an .c or .h file but not a project file.
3. I've deleted and downloaded the compilers - but no luck.
4. I've restarted my PC a few times.

Any advice please? Could it be the 'file type' for a project file '.mcppi'
My pc knowledge is a bit limited!

So your problems are function of time.

Is it possible the cables' problems?

I did experience cable problems more than one time. I blamed the boards but it turned out to be the USB cables or even power supply.

I've done some more work on trying to fix this but still no luck:
1. Downloaded the MikroC Pro for PIC onto another PC and - it works just fine.
2. Downloaded it onto my 'faulty' PC, into a new directory - and it fails again with the same bug report.
3. My faulty PC 'crashed' whilst running MikroC Pro for PIC.
4. Will not run any of the Mikro PIC compilers. Will open edit etc a .h or.c file but not a project file.
5. All other software, including Mikrchip and CCS compilers run Ok

So, the fault is in my PC - ANY ADVICE PLEASE.

All working OK now.
I ran 'Spybot Search and Destroy'
It did not find any serious problems but after execution the three compilers worked OK.
I wonder what the problem was/

Very possible it is hard disk problem.

Some sectors on the hard disk are corrupted.
