I having the same hard days while I was trying c5416 board on Windows Vista.

TI support engineer clearly stated to me that TI are not going to make dsk5416 sw to be compatible in Vista enviroment.
Two options given :-
1. Give up my Vista and go back to XP
2. Give up my DSK5416 get another DSP dev board

...............................

solution is there, and choice is really in my own hand ...

consider the cost of getting a new dsp dsk and getting a xp license...
I have given up vista.

There's been some discussion about this in the groups recently. Suggest that you
check the archives. Here are a few relevant links I found after a quick search:

PS. From anecdotes I hear Vista sucks in the WinXP-compatibility category. I might
guess that Microsoft has a hard time to give up their 1990s habit of forcing their
customers to upgrade every software and hardware add-in product they own. Having
said that, probably Vista is very good software.

Hi everyone;

Recently I installed in my computer CCS V3.3, I have Windows Vista, when I've tried to run the CCS program just appears an icon in the tool bar but nothing else happens, is there something else I have to do for use the CCS on Windows Vista or just this version doesn't workin this OS?
