Hi Marc,
Yes, using the old dll seems to solve the GDI problem.
I've just done a quick test using the HVAC demo project on a M522259DEMO board and, this time, CW 7.1.2 worked flawlessy (just like in 7.1.1).
Having the development environment in a virtual machine helped a lot in this kind of test (do a snapshop before you upgrade, upgrade, test and if something is broken, just rollback to previous state).
Thanks for the tip, regards
