Blank screen - but only when using a WHILE loop

[student_of_C]

I am new to C++, and this board - I hope this is the correct place to post this.  If not I will move to where ever told.

I have had a VERY HARD time installing CB on Window 7 Home Ed. the CB.  ( First tried it with VC Express, had to finally give up and go with the mingw, which I'm ok with ) BUT...... I've written several programs - successfully - but whenever I write a program with a WHILE loop - I get a blank black little screen.  and have to ESC out.  ( Even a super simple one right out of a text book ).

Do I need a lib.?  Am I missing something obvious?  Am I just having more trouble with CB?

Thanks in advance for ANY help.

You most likely run into an endless loop (never reach the end-condition), but this does not belong into this forum, nor this website.
