I have tried all I can... reloaded and reinstalled, no use.
The problem is, that in BOTH, programming editor AND winaxepad (newest ones),any operation ,that needs "options"-window takes 1/2 to 2minutes (on the titlerow is the text "program not responding".Usually, not always)
AND both programs have casual problems with usb-cord.(newest rev-ed drivers,should I use chip-manufacturers drivers???)
Win 7 now downloads on its own a driver for axe-usb-cable (shows version number 2.00.00) and DOES NOT let to update it to downloaded 2,06 !
(is it, that win7 SHOWS wrong number, it IS 2.06, though shows 2.00)
Though "program not responding" the usage of processor(s) does NOT rise from a few %, as usually does ,when programs "tilt".
The same symptom, if cable is connected or not, and if any drivers are installed or not.
Win7 is updated to the latest- and I WILL NOT re-install operating system...
No such problems in the other SIMILAR laptop, Linux and axepad in it. (Linux-axepad has it own troubles, though)
Since, I got my first Picaxe just over a month ago, I haven't been able to test other windows's. So, I don't know, is this ONLY a win7 problem. (maybe I should try a very old laptop with XP in it)
Win 7 is new, and new updates may conflict w/ programeditor, but is their any known issues? Should I try to set same state of compatability with older windowses?
I use the tool very much, because I am developing a serie of products (based on Picaxe), and the programmer should work smoothly. The problems are rising blood pressure.
I must plug the cable between diiferent Picaxes, and in the meantime use the laptop to other things, Picaxe not plugged. And every time I plug in again, it is at least five minutes, before I am ready to send a program to Picaxe (in the worst case, 10 minutes is lost, before I can establish connection)
It is the same, if editor is open or not, and do I plug the cable before or after starting editor.
AND really would not like to close the editor, if I have several program-windows open...
Have tried a usb-rs232 adapter, and Picaxe rs232-cable too. WONDER, downloading is faster!
But the SAME problems with the "options"-window.
Any thoughts/advice?
