Debugging from Plato calls a touchpad driver

When debugging a program like the following from Plato, both with Checkmate and with the Debug option, an empty window appears with the name of a driver file (C:\Program Files\Apoint2K\Apntex.exe) for the touchpad (Alps pointing device) of the notebook used. Is this intentional?

PROGRAM CM
IMPLICIT NONE
INTEGER :: I, J=1
DO I=1,5
  WRITE(*,*) J
  J=J+1
END DO
END PROGRAM CM

Notes:

• This only happens after a fresh start of the Windows 11 operating system, only with the 32bits option Win32 and only with the 'Integrate with SDBG/SDBG64' option checked under Plato > Tools > Settings > Miscellaneous.
• The Apntex.exe driver file has been checked by virustotal.com and found not to be a virus.
• FTN95 version is 9.03.0.0.

I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour. You could try using SDBG directly rather than from Plato.

jib,

I don't have Win11 or Apoint2K installed on my PC.

Does your experience imply that Apoint2K\Apntex identifies an unsatisfied (symbol or .dll?) in your path list ?

Could this imply that for running FTN95, your path list needs to be re-ordered ?

Or could it imply that this symbol was identified when Plato or Sdbg was built ?

I would like to know how this symbol/link was identified.

Does your experience imply that Apoint2K\Apntex identifies an unsatisfied (symbol or .dll?) in your path list?

No, it doesn't. During a reboot, the driver starts normally and remains resident (visible in the task manager).

Could this imply that for running FTN95, your path list needs to be re-ordered?

No, the FTN95 compiler can be called from any subdirectory of the computer within a DOS prompt without changing the path list.

Or could it imply that this symbol was identified when Plato or Sdbg was built?

Maybe Plato/SDBG is trying to access the driver in a way that it doesn't 'understand' and therefore opens these empty windows.
