I dumped v11 into my test controller just to eliminate that as a potential cause, and your code still works fine.

Ugh. Here we go.

Not likely, but it would be nice. I think I'm going to ask the team leader if I can bring home the old controller, OI, some power source, and all the necessary testing hardware so I can get something done.

When you get back to the robot after the holidays double check that you're downloading the .hex file you think you are. I notice you're putting the .hex file in a different directory than the source code (C:\old_'07_Code), so check the date on the file IFI_Loader is pointing to and verify it's new.

<scratches head> I looked at the project options again after you mentioned this, but I see the output directory is c:\old_'07_code, right where the source is. I verified that MPLAB is opening the right files. I have deleted the .hex file, recompiled, and yes, it shows up right where I expected it would, and I verified it was this .hex I downloaded.

What's the history of the PC you're using? Has it been used for several years? Has MPLAB/C18/etc. been reinstalled around the time your troubles began?

I installed this from the '06 disc in the KOP which only had 2.4 on it. I only bought this PC in July or August of this year, so it doesn't have an old version conflict. Also, I have never done Vex ever, so that's not a possibility. I never reinstalled MPLAB, but I'm thinking that's my next step.
It might work right now. I have no idea. I'll have to test it when we get back.
