It also happened to me... I was evaluating CCS2.1 on a Compaq/WinXP Pro notebook.
The solution for me was to install vmware, and then run w2k + ccs on this virtual machine.
It's working very well.

Hi Tea,
Have you contacted Yes about the problem? I asked them if I could install winxp Pro without crippling CCS and here's their reply:

Response Ron,
The CCS works fine under Win XP Pro. The eventually bugs are investigated and fixed all the time, so you shouldn't have any problems. Just keep updating your CCS and notify us if you will have some questions/issues.
Best Regards,
Greg

I cant imagine Yes saying this when there is a real problem with CCS and winXP.

Yes,
And the number of messages in this thread with that same problem is big, so, that's a problem (i think so).

I wasn't implying that there isn't a problem. I'm just wondering if any of you took the trouble of asking Yes what is going on. I think it's a bit strange when apearantly so many people have trouble with winXP and Yes is still saying to me that there is no problem they now of. I've been working with first CC and when it came out CCS and I have only good experiences with Yes support. So back to my original question: Did you contact yes and if so what was there responce?

I've only tested the pro versions of XP, I also meet it daily when I help people who have installed it (staff, customers & friends)... my main complaint is the lockout of admins from important system functions and the steady march to DRM slavery with every upgrade.
However the makers of CCS must support the latest MS OS, it would be madness not to, but I will stick to w2k as it works well and I can get on with my business with being lured by start-up times & flashy graphics (if I need some lickable icons I go to my Macs)
As CCS is a pattern generator that outputs code in text files it would not be hard to produce something similar, if they do not produce this for X someone else will, it's only a matter of time.

I'm getting a strange feeling when I see the lack of answers to my very easy question. If you are experiencing problems with CCS running on winXP (pro) as described in the postings...Did you contact Yes and if so....what was their answer????
If I have a problem with the software I contact them. I payed good money for it so not doing so would be dumb. Are the people having these trouble using the purchased version of CCS or the trial? Or is it the cracked version that's causing the trouble? If the cracked version is the problem I think you shouldn't complain at all and stop posting.

Dear RonB.
Reading the messages of that discussion, i can see that you are very intrested for that problem. I reproduce your answers only in this thread:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Message try completely uninstalling CCS and after reboot do a fresh install.
- 8/11/2003 6:27:15 AM
Message Ok, we had a problem installing a second liscence at work and it turned out to be a problem with permissions. Once we installed as administrator CCS worked fine. No problems for other users either. So look to see if the user you use to install CCS has enough permissions to install the software.
- 8/12/2003 11:01:29 AM
Message Looks like it's a winxp problem when you see the messages here. Anybody having these problems and not using winxp?
I was thinking of switching from win 2K pro to winXP pro but if that means I'll be having the same trouble I'll wait.

Message Hi Dave,
Yes told me in answers to support questions that they are working on their own version of the dhtml engine since the MS version is indeed causing a lot of the bugs. If they succeed that might also clear the way to a possible port to X based OS. They cant now because they are up to their necks in to MS dependencies. As a lot of us know...that's not a place you want to be...
I'm afraid though that the market for an X based os version is to small to invest a lot of time and money in to. Yes also has shown it's commitment to MS by develloping a frontpage plugin while almost everbody that professionaly designs uses Dreamweaver. If they were able to come up with running CCS as a Dreamweaver plugin I would be thrilled. Just think of the power a combination like that would have.

Message I contacted Yes about two weeks ago because I'm planning to install winXP pro and they assured me that there were no problems anymore so maybe something is going very wrong here. Did you contact Yes with this problem and if so...what was their reaction? (they almost never reply on this forum so post your problem through support.codecharge.com)

Message Is winxp pro as bad as the home version? I have winxp(pro) on a second pc and it works well. I like the startup speed of winxp since my current win2K pro box (pentium4 3 gig, 512 ram) is very slow in comparison during startup. It is running mysql apache php etc so there's a lot to start up but stil...
I like the look of winxp and if CCS, apache, mysql,php runs without trouble I'm willing to up(down)grade
I'd love to bypass winxp and run some linux distro but I don't think it will happen anytime soon. I'm amazed that open source has yet to develop an answer to something like CCS, even if it was just for php I'd considder it if it had the same features (I'd even pay for it And something like dreamweaver would be nice to.

So, i wonder one thing: Don't you have too much interest in the resolution of this bug? and better even, And, observing the interest that you show in which the people whom they have this problem have contacted with YES, will not be possible that you are a representative of this company to the illegal copy hunting of the program?
I do not know what it will happen in other forums, but is the first time that I am with this type of interrogations. One assumes that these points of contact are so that the users of the program solve problems combines freely and, and not so that they must give account of if its company has had the gentility or not to register the program that they use to work...
Do you understand me?

Ok, first of I'm not a representative of Yes. I'm a truely interested, and long time, user of CCS. If you care to read more of my postings in this forum you'll see that I'm an active contributor to this forum.
Second. If you read my postings you will have noticed that I intend to install winXP pro on my machine. I use this machine also for the work I'm doing for my employer, I work in the IT department of a dutch centre for the treatment of addictions, so I can not afford to criple my copy of CCS.
As for the illegal copies. I truely believe that anybody posting questions about bugs on the forum of the company who's product you are illegaly using should not expect any help. This is NOT a forum for freeloaders. As you can also see I tried to help out by providing examples of things we did at my company to resolve some simular sounding problems. If you have a problem with me trying to help out then I'm sorry. Just do not read my postings.
If you are one of the people trying to freeload by using a cracked version of CCS then I'm sorry to. There are many known problems with the crack for CCS, I'm happy to say, and it will not work as it should. I payed good money for this product and I contribute regurarly on this forum so why should I have any sympathy for people who are trying to rip of Yes.
And last. I think it's not very smart if you are a paying customer of Yes but do not use the support you payed for.
Ron

This extremely long and rather shoddy attack on RonB seems to be a defence of people having cracked verions of CCS.
RonB is a serious developer who devotes much of his time to helping newbies out and answering questions. Do a search for his posts if you want to know the truth.
I second his insistence that people file a support request to YesSoftware if they have found a bug, asking if they have is very resonable as such bugs should be reported to the developers so they can solve the issue.
So David Barris, post something constructive and help some newbies instead of flaming Ron. BTW he does not work for Yes Software, nor do I.
Greetings
Dave

Are we all through taunting now? Good.
The bug appears in the evaluation version so can we get off of the crack/license, who works for who flames? Thanks you

I run W2000 Pro. The software broke when I took the Microsoft RPC security patches a couple of weeks ago. No doubt in my mind that was the cause.
The closest this thread comes to this is Ron's post:
