question about easy plc and machine simulator

[bedfordia]

I am starting to get to know these programs but I just ran into a problem. I open machine simulator and start the automatic grinder program. I downloaded the plc program off the websitewhen i try to start the plc program from easy plc there is a message on the bottom that says compiling and then easy plc shrinks and disappears. how do I start the machine? how can I get easy plc back on the screen? when i try to restart easy plc from the icon nothing happens and I have to restart the computer to get it back

Ok I'm making a little progress. I see the icon on the task bar but i dont get the pop up menu when I click it. I am running windows 7

You must to make mouse right click over the EasyPLC tray icon (a chip image in the button right area of the task bar).
Then a menu with the following options appears:

• Stop PLC
• On Line Data
• On Line Program
• View Simulated I/O
• End EasyPLC

Remember that EasyPLC 4.x is only compatible with 32 bit Windows versions.
The new release EasyPLC v5 is compatible with 32 & 64 bit O.S. Windows, and will be released the next month. All the users that have purchased the software suite during the last three months will be updated freely!.

Regards.
