Getting up and running on F28027 Piccolo Control Card on Experimenters Docking Station - Difficulties

I've just received the TMS320C2000 Experimenters Kit with a 28027 control card. I tried loading Code Composer V3.3 on both Windows Vista and Windows 7 and encounter the documented errors. I tried ignoring them and could not get CC running using the Flashing LED test project. I had read to ignore them on V3.3. It failed. I tried turning UAC off and running with Admin privileges and turning Norton off, but it didn't help.

I would get these know errors as the setup completed on both Vista and Windows 7.

Error 1920: Service "drpkiant" (drpkiant) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service.

Error 1920: Service “XDSFast1_ISA_Bus_Drivers” (xdsfast1) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service.

I then loaded CC V3.3 onto a Windows XP SP3 machine and was able to run CC V3.3 plus download the

Support Software

C2000 Baseline software for controlCARD kits-use before kit specific software

Which includes the Flashing LED project code. It works just fine and I'm able to blink the LED on the Control card.

I'm interested in using the "SimpleDACtoADC" project available with the Control Stick test card but is not for the Experimenters Kit.

So I downloaded the  TMX320F28027 Piccolo controlSTICK hoping I could bring it over and use it as a template on the Experimenter Kit

The only difference I see between the ControlStick and Experimenters kit hardware with both sharing the 2802x CPU was how the various pins are made available.

Support Software

Control Suite

Download: Piccolo controlSTICK Software

So when I tried to run the Control Suite on my Windows XP SP3 machine that was already running CC V3.3 and connecting and loading and running the Blinking LED code correctly, it failed saying I would need to get .NET Framework V2.0.50727. I went to Microsoft's download center and failed to find a Windows XP SP3 .NET 2.0 download. Bummer.

Ok so my big question is:

I have SimpleDACtoADC-Main.c  and SimpleDACtoADC-DEVInit_F2802x.c code and is it possible or practical to use the working BlinkingLED code as my template and incorporate  the SimpleDACtoADC code I need into the BlinkingLED template?

What issues will I encounter?

Is there any way to get the SimpleDACtoADC project acceptable to CC V3.3 given my dilemma? The SimpleDACtoADC contains much of the code I meed for my application with straightforward changes so is my ideal template.

Any help appreciated
