Moody Compiling on certain computers...

Working on programming our bot, and I have come to figure out that our school computers will not compile the code correctly. I have MPLAB IDE 7.00 with C18 and the same version of IFI loader on all the computers, but recently when I use the laptop, or one of the desktops, it will say build succeeded, I will load the hex file, and the bot will go into full reverse, but only on the drive wheels, not on the arm. I don't get any feedback in the terminal window, not even a "user processor initialized..." or in our case "for great justice, take off every zig."

However if I use the .hex file I built at home, it works fine. They were built using the same source, the same libraries and linker files, the directories are copies of each other in fact.

Anyone else experience this, any advice? I don't want to have to take my computer to the competitions, it is just to darn big. (50+ lbs, full tower case, caster wheels...) I would probably end up with it tied to the bot and me riding around on it, pulled behind the bot (the sad part is I'm serious, just for kicks, every now and then I'll ride around on it at a LAN party).

Thanks everyone.
