LMK04808: CodeLoader4 has lost its combobox Text

Part Number: LMK04808
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODELOADER, TICSPRO-SW,

to

I did a clean install on a separate PC and the same .mac file looks fine.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, but have had no success.

  • Hello David,

    I wonder if this could somehow be impacted by the virtual store? When installed to the default location, I know on Win7 the following directory is created with .ini files because CodeLoader was written before UAC (User Access Control) feature of windows.
    C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\CodeLoader 4

    Another option is to use the TICS Pro software (ticspro-sw) which doesn't try to store user data in the program directory, this software also supports LMK04808.

  • Hi Timothy,
    I removed the ini files from "C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\CodeLoader 4" then started CodeLoader 4 and the combo boxes are working again.
    CodeLoader replaced the ini files that I had deleted.

    I compared the LMK04808B.ini with the old one and there is a difference in naming, which would explain the loss of names.
    Old: VAL12702=LVPECL (700 mVpp)
    New:VAL127_02=LVPECL (700 mVpp)

    The new codeldr.ini has additional devices addad
