Problem Title:
M1.5. MAP: Dr Watson error on NT machines


Problem Description:


PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Map M1.5 fails every time with a Dr Watson error on a PC.
This is independant of the design.

This can be caused by an incompatibility issue between Xilinx' software and Microsoft's Visual Studi o 6 software.
OLE automation exception errors occur.

It seems as though the Visual Studio software 6.0 updates the OS at a very
fundamental level, which cannot easily be undone.


Solution 1:

RESOLUTION 1
=============

Uninstall the Microsoft Visual Studio 6 software.
