Hi Tommaso,

I've already performed some tests (sample ones) with Windows 8.1 64 bit OS.

I've installed several tools:

    CW for DSC V8.3

    CW for HC12 V5.1

    CW for PA V10.4

    CW for MCU V10.6

I can run all these tools without problem.

The Windows 8.1 is running under VirtualBox.

The PC is installed with Win 7 64 bit OS.

If you've problem, please let me know the tool version used and where/how the problem occurs ?

Have a great day,
Pascal

CodeWarrior launches/uses DE.exe as debugger engine. Maybe you have multiple instances running (see Killing Me Softly: Zombies and Debugger Engines | MCU on Eclipse) or that DE.exe has been removed by your firewall/virus scanner?

Thank you very much! I've checked and actually when CW starts there is no DE.exe running (even if the allowed by my firewall)... how i can fix the problem? do i need ti install again CW?
