I was using a much older version of Code:Blocks (8.02) that came with my "C++: All-in-one for Dummies" book and thought it would be a good idea to upgrade to codeblocks-13.12. After installing over the old version, when I attempt to run it, the splash screen comes up and then the Tip of the Day, but I don't get the "Start Here" screen. Apparently codeblocks is still running, because I see it both in the icon tray at the bottom of my screen and in the Windows Task Manager. I have also tried to install cb-13.11-RC2 with the same result. Any suggestions?

Delete or rename the default config file is my suggestion.
It under the folder %APPDATA% on my computer it is this path
C:\Users\stahta01\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks and it is the file named default.conf.

Did you remove the install-folder of 8.02 before ?
There are no informations stored inside it, so nothing gets lost (but to be sure you can rename it).
There might be a pronlem with old libraries, because the library structure was slightly changed since 8.02,

Thank you. At first I searched in C:\Users\rp4084 for AppData with Windows Explorer--but the darn folder was hidden. After searching for %APPDATA%, Windows pulled up C:\Users\rp4084\AppData\ . I wouldn't have known how to find it otherwise.
After removing this file (and uninstalling and removing all traces of codeblocks that I could find--for good measure, then re-installing) it works. Thanks again.
