Unable to connect to port after a successful connection #40

I've installed SimpleIDE 1.1.0 but when I run the test file, it won't connect to the port after the first successful attempt. This is what I get... image

Is there a serial terminal open that is connected to that port?

What operating system and version of OS are you running?

Port 6 is open and connected to the propeller. The ‘welcome.c’ will run once, but then I get the error if I try to compile / run a second time.

Sometimes selecting Reset Port will allow it to compile once more but the issue returns.

Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable will also allow it to compile once more but the issue returns.

The problem only occurred after upgrading to SimpleIDE 1.1.0.

I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate with Service Pack 1, and I’ve been using SimpleIDE for several years with no issues.

I'm not sure what is happening to cause that, but I suspect the port is not being closed for some reason so the software can't open it again the next time. I'll try to come up with another way to diagnose it and let you know.
