|
I am trying to run Plato v 4.7.0 on a relatively new computer running under Win10. Plato starts, allows me to recover the project I'm working on, but then refuses to SAVE the project or any of its files when I've finished making changes. This failure comes with an error msg (apparently from the O/S) that reads as follows:
"Plato has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Of course, Windows never notifies me of anything. I've had this problem off and on ever since I bought the full Silverfrost package 2.5 months ago.
When I get this failure, it is usually possible to go back to Plato v 4.21, the older but free version, and recover my work there.
So here are a few questions:
1) Are the 2 different versions of Plato compatible with each other in the sense that either one should be able to understand the project file (.ftn95p) that has been created?
2) If I need different project files for each version of Plato, do I need to maintain separate folders for them to distinguish one from the other? Or can I just give them different names?
3) I have uninstalled and re-installed my full version of the Silverfrost compiler and its Plato IDE at least 3 times. What other things should I try?
4) What am I missing here? What is probably causing these problems in the Plato IDE? _________________ Stan Musick |
