I'm probably doing something ridiculously stupid but I'm having trouble getting started with the IDE.
I have an XC-1A and have attempted to follow the instructions here on getting it interfaced with Windows 7. I have uninstalled the drivers chosen for me by the "higher powers" and attempted to replace them as instructed with the contents of "C:\Program Files\XMOS\DevelopmentTools\11.2.1\drivers\ftdi\*" and am instructed that:
"The best driver software for your device is already installed.
Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date"
Great! Says I, Windows obviously knows best. (Chuckle)
Now then, I have Eclipse C/C++ super duper edition pre-installed and have installed the most recent version (11.2.1) of the Development Tools from the downloads section of XCore.com.
When I try to run "XDE" from "Start->All Programs->XMOS->Development Tools 11.2.1" I am presented with a nice white box which kindly tells me the following:
Can I also request (on top of assistance) that this be made copyable in a later release of XDE, pretty, pretty please?JVM terminated. Exit Code=-1

Clicking "Okay" to this dialogue closes the window and no amount of patient waiting will convince it to change its mind and run normally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
