Missing Debug -> Watches window
« on: April 15, 2010, 04:11:20 am »
Thanks for reading,

I recently loaded code::blocks to my laptop (of questionable origin) running Win7 64 over an AMD Turion.  I've been using it for most of the semester without problem but recently I seem to have lost my Watches window when I debug.  I also lose my "Logs & Others" window when I run in debug mode.  I've perused through all of the options & settings, I've tried checking the file menu Debug->Debugging Windows->Watches both in debug mode an in edit mode.  The option will show the check mark but still no window.  I've closed out all other windows (thinking the Watches window was hidden or obscured) but no luck.  I've even uninstalled and re-installed CB but the same problem occurs so I'm thinking the option persists through the registry(?).  It should be noted that I can open the same file on my desktop without problems (and with the Watches window).

Please help, debugging is very important to me and all the tools are important.

I'm happy to supply any additional data needed.

Thanks,

MFC

I should add that I've searched this forum & BerliOS but found no similar problems.  I also have the same problem with all projects opened with CB (but again, only on my laptop).  Thanks again!

You can try to delete the folder "%APPDATA%\codeblocks", or at least the file "default.conf" in it. This will re-initialise Code::Blocks. Don't worry: We are not using the registry.
