After installing code::blocks on my computer (WinXP; 3GB RAM; mingw32 4.5 compiler; over 180GB free hard drive space) it started; showed the splash screen; and appeared before my eyes. Then I closed it down. Later I clicked on the desktop link and as before the splash screen was shown but that was it! Nothing else happened! I clicked on the splash screen, it disappeared, and nothing happened! I did ctrl-alt-delete and clicking on the processes tab there it was loaded into memory but nothing showed on the screen. I deleted it from memory and tried it again, but again only the splash screen appeared. I did this three or four times with the same result. On the fifth try it finally appeared but subsequent tries yielded the same result as before.
It seems to be a hit or miss display. It always loads into memory but it's hit or miss if it will display. I tried uninstalling it, cleaning my drive, rebooting and even shutting down completely. I reinstalled code::blocks but it is still acting temperamental.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
