UVision2 hangs on splash screen with Windows XP

Product: Trail verion of UVision2

Operating system: Windows XP

Problem: When UVision2 was started, it froze at the splash screen.

Solution: Go to Windows explorer and highlighted the file Uv2.exe. Then chose "Properties." Next chose the "compatibility" tab. And then set this program to run in Windows 95 mode.

Warning: There is a fix for this problem, for Windows NT, on this site which tells you to download and run a help file update. According to Microsoft, you should not run this update if you are using Windows XP. (And I believe Windows 2000 as well.)

  • The uVision2 that I am using is V2.20a evaluation version. But I did download C51, c166, and c251 evaluation versions. Since I just downloaded it, it is probably the most recent version.

    A few days ago I purchased a book on embedded programming with C which came with a CD. The CD had uVision2, c166, c251, and c51 on it along with other tools. When I tried to run the uVision2 program that I installed from the disk, I had that same problem. That is why I went to the site and downloaded straight from there.

    And yes, I did uninstall, completely, the original uVision2 program. And I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.
