I realize mplab is somewhat buggy for those who do not run XP, but many of these errors are the fault of Microsoft. Most major companies will write their own routines to do these things, usu. more efficently, and less buggy. I have had very few problems with they system.

My oddest problem was with IFI Loader (the original verison,havent tried since). I would upload my program to the bot, and while it was running (with the output box), i would close the output box. The computer would then graciously give me a BSOD (XP No less!), and then shut down. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out why. Again, something programmed so quickly, yet they looked over something so simple. Its a shame really.
