Prior to going online with my Comcast broadband connection, I've had
problems with my various versions of MW CW. I had somewhat of a similar
problem about 1 1/2 years ago which I rectified by reinstalling Me. When I
substituted the old registry, I would experience the same problems.
Therefore, I ruled the registry as suspect and didn't use it any further.
I can install CW but cannot get its IDE.exe file to open without exiting
abruptly, then causing 145 dump files to be created. A dialog states that
the prefs file is probably read-only or otherwise in use. Actually, since
the application has never opened properly, a pref file never has a chance to
become created.
CW uses the autoexec.bat file for entering some environment input. The
Metrowerks contact person is at a loss at to what my problem might be. He
suspects that my AV may have some effect at write-protecting one or more
System folders. However, I haven't found any read-only system folders. In
any event, I have deactivated my AV, firewall, and anti-spyware
applications, to no avail.
What might be the problem here? I've had some of the problems before I
installed the internet connection, e.g., the generation of only one dump
file upon the closing of the CW IDE, but nothing like the 145 dumps I'm now
getting at each attempt to run the executable. Besides, before I was able to
open and use the IDE w/o incident.
