[Icc-avr] ICCARV Hardware Dongle hang/crash

[Andrew]

Hi,

I have ICCAR 7.15 with the blue hardware dongle but ICCAVR seems to hang and 
crash alot, any ideas? i have been using the demo version for this reason 
but overtime it has reduced in size to 4K so i must use the donge. it is 
when i press the build all button ICCAVR hangs (sometimes) and the only 
solution is to pull the dongle out and kill the application then restart.

any suggestions/ideas

Note : The hardware dongle is for ICCARV v7 and does windows finds it and 
installs the correct drivers from the ICCAVR program folder. i am running 
Win XP SP2 with all the updates and the USB ports are all USB 2.0.

Andy
