Editor 5.3.6 and Datalink

I installed the version 5.3.6 , upgrading from 5.3.3 and every time I ran the software, the data-link (F9) dialog kept popping up. I could not stop it, every second I closed it then it was back after 1 to 2 seconds.
I did have a connected and running PixAce28X2 that was SerTxd(".") every second so could that have caused it?
I disconnected the PixAce28X2, it still happened.
I uninstalled and reinstalled 5.3.6, it still happened.
I rebooted the XP computer, it still happened.
I uninstalled and reinstalled 5.3.6, it still happened still.
I uninstalled 5.3.6 and reinstalled 5.3.3 and all is now happy so I left it at that.

At one point I managed to alter the COM1 to COM2 and then it had a error message informing me that the serial port COM2 was unavailable (which it was as it is used by something else), but the data-link error was gone...


I will try it on one of the other 4 PC I have it on as soon as I can find the time to uninstall, reinstall.

When i initially upgraded, I did try to uninstall the 5.3.3 via add/remove programs by the Programming Editor was hung in the background and the uninstall stopped, halted and got a bit messy.


Is this an issue with 5.3.6 or just me?

I have recently upgraded 2 of 4 machine I have the PE installed on.

No problems with the latest V5.3.6 for me.

Are you sure the F9 key is not stuck down?

F9 is not stuck and that would still cause problems with 5.3.3 yes?
If technical have not come across it as yet, then I will take it as an issue on my machine.

I will try it on another machine.
