Hi Guys, when I tried to run C for PICmicros, the following error were displayed:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\C4PICs3\c4pics3.exe abnormal program termination".

Ben Rowland at the Matrix Mulimedia Centre @ Halifax
had tried to help me fix this issue but we haven't resolved it yet.
Could anyone help me please. The solution is urgently needed in that I'm using the software for my final year project.

If you are doing this on Microsoft Windows Vista, then try this...

Right click on the c4pics3.exe and select "Run this program in compatability mode" select "Windows XP Service Pack 2".

Then run the program as an administrator.

Cheers for the email saying you are on XP Pro.

There are many many reasons why you might get this error and 99% of them seem to be down to other applications messing with C++ and giving you the problem with c4pic3.

I doubt very much that it is a problem with c4pic3.exe

Firstly make sure you are using the latest C++ runtime linked here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259403

Secondly, stop or remove any applications that might interfere with C++.

For example: The google or yahoo toolbars
I would stop any apps that sit in the taskbar which are completely unecessary. Mostly all of them.

I suspect that your new HP system came preinstalled with a load of apps which certainly can be stopped.

Hello everyone,

Please the answer to my [previous] problem remains unanswered so if any one has got other idea(s) please try to let me know. The problem is that whereas I have been able to install the C for PICMicros student edition version 3, it cannot run on my windows XP Professional Media Center Edition. I have got some nice replies so far but none had yielded anything worthwhile [in the sense of the problem, not that they were nonsensical response].The problem occurs as written hereunder:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Runtime Error!
Program: <Drive>:\C4PICs3.exe
abnormal program termination".

Where <Drive> = the drive where the disk is inserted.

Moreover, the processor is Intel Core 2 Duo, which each running at 2.13 GHz respectively.
