Thanks for this feedback.

I think Windows/7 is pobably still better. I use 10 because I need it
for other reasons. I have XP in a VMWARE VM for A parrallel printer port

Is Windows 10 better or worse than other operating systems for FPGA
work?

This is working for me...
... but it feels like my Nexys 2 board which I can program with the
Digilent Adept tools is much cleaner to use even though it is less
capable....

Impact is very poorly integrated into ISE. I have found that the only
reliable way to open Impact from an ISE project is to use the process
"Manage Configuration Project (iMPACT)" under "Configure Target Device."
Out of curiosity, what version of ISE are you running, and what
operating system?

Folks,
Sorry if this is off-topic. I have a project that uses the above
board, which has an Spartan 3E chip and an EEPROM for holding the config.
If I load Impact on its own I can program the prom, press reset and the
code runs.
If I run the same step from within ISE it fails as I havn't assigned a
file to the FPGA chip, and its on the JTAG chain and I haven't assigned
a file.
If I remove it from the config in the Impact project it fails because
Impact does a boundry scan and finds it and complains because no file is
assigned.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
