Code Warrior Error when attempting to do C

[Iggy_01]

I have been using Code Warrior for my micro-controller classes. My laptop is x86 with Windows 7 Professional(not sure if this matters). Last session we were mostly doing Assembly. The code warrior worked great doing this task but, at the end of the session we started programming the HCS12 using C. When I tried to open the .main I would keept receiving the error of the attached .jpg . Can anyone help me with resolving this error because, from here out, all we will be doing is C. So, I really need to get this working. Thanks for any help.

I believe that only CW version 10 supports Win7. Which CW version are you using?

Help -> About -> Installed products -> Read the top line of the window that appears.

Mine is version 5.1. I'll try what has been suggested so far and give feedback. Thanks.

Try enabling "Disable Desktop Composition" in  IDE.exe compatibility properties.

I really want to thank you kef. I went to the compatibility tab under the properties for Code Warrior IDE and checked the "Disable Desktop Composition" box and then clicked "apply". It worked perfectly after that. Would you mind explaining how you knew to check that one box out of the 5 choices that were on the compatibility tab? And again kef, thanks alot. I needed this tool to work for "C" as well as "assembly"  on my laptop for my classes at school.

It is a known solution from this thread https://community.freescale.com/thread/52062 . Only Audi knows how he/she invented this.
