I just installed Compaq Fortran on an XP machine. I get the error:
Compaq Visual Fortran: DFDEV.EXE - Application Error
The exception unknown software exception (0xc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x77e6d756.
This error happens after I try to open a .dsp project file or create a new Fortran project. Any ideas?
I have tried starting with version 6.1 and 6.5 and get the same error.

Try this. Start..Run. Enter REGEDIT, click Open.
Click on the + signs next to the following names, in order: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, DevStudio. Click on the name 6.0 and press Delete. Exit REGEDIT.
Now open Developer Studio and see what happens.
Note that you will lose any customizations you have made to the development environment.

I still get the same error :(
This is the first time I am installing Developer Studio/Fortran on this machine. So there wouldn't be any settings to lose.

Do you have Microsoft Visual C++ or Visual Studio also installed? If so, download and install SP5 for that from Microsoft. I have seen this help sometimes.
