Steven, Many thanks for your help. According to your suggestions, we added user 'Everyone' (so far we've been using 'Users' instead) to the permissions of the 'Texas Instruments' folder under 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software'. Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. Did I misinterpret your advice in some way?

Subject: [code-comp] Still having some problems with CCS 3.1. Hopefully, someone knowledgeable within TI can tell me why the following dialogs come up in my Windows XP system when I try opening a CCS 3.1 project that uses DSB/BIOS: Dialog Title: "Project Update" Dialog Text: "CRegistryInfo::GetSABiosRegKey() could not find BIOS registry entries." When this first dialog is closed by clicking its only OK button, another dialog appears: Dialog Title: "Project Update" Dialog Text: "The project you are opening is based upon an older CDB configuration file which must be converted to the new TConf Script (TCF) format. THIS HAS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO EDIT THE CONFIGURATION AND BUILD SUCCESSFULLY. Please see the "Getting Started Guide" in the installation directory of the version of DSP/BIOS you are using for the steps to perform this conversation." When this second dialog is closed by clicking its only OK button, the project gets loaded into CCS and can be built, loaded into target, and run. It does run fine, but all DSP/BIOS related debug windows like, for instance, CPU Load Graph, can not be opened. When I try to do so, a dialog comes up: Dialog Title: "DSP/BIOS" Dialog Text: "Unknown error. A required library is not loaded: vbd:dll" This phenomena only happens if I'm logged into Windows XP as a standard user (which I normally have to do). If I'm logged in as an Administrator the problem does not occur at all! Since someone has written these dialogs, there surely must be some information available within TI regarding the reasons when these dialogs get triggered. Many thanks for helping, Roland
