Code::Blocks crashes graphics when compiling

I can't do anything at all until the compiling is done, and if I wanna see the compile status, I have to press CTRL+DEL.

-------------------------------------
I had the same problem, but it was not a display crashing at all. I fixed it simply by changing the command prompt display options settings to "window" instead of "full screen". Note that simply changing it while running Programs|Accessories|Command Prompt didn't work. Instead, compile a reasonably large program in C::B to give you enough time with the blank screen (I used rebuild so all the files had to compile). As soon as the screen switches to text mode, use Alt-Spacebar and select Properties. Change the display options property from Full Screen to Window and press OK. Be sure when you see the next dialog to select "Modify shortcut that started this window" and press OK.

That fixed the problem for me, I now stay in C::B and see the progress compiler messages.
