Hi Henry,

 

I'm guessing your using Win 7 64.  Not all of the CW drivers are 64 bit compatible yet. If you run in 32bit mode, I've been told that it should work ok (note I think it's not recommended for production).  List of thinks you can try to get 64 bit working for you are below.    

 

Things to try in CW to get it to work with 64-bit:

- Run Windows 7 in Windows XP SP3mode. Forward the USB ports to the XP VM.

- Don't use Windows 7 RC. EVER.

- Get the 64-bit drivers fromP&E Microsystems here: http://www.pemicro.com/support/downloads_find.cfm and download the P&EHardware Interface Drivers Version 10. 

 

You can also try installing CodeWarrior onto a 32-bit system, then copy the installation to the64-bit system. Then from Administrator privileged account, run theregservers.bat file in CodeWarrior's bin directory.
