Can't Open Code::Blocks (Windows 8.1 machine)

(1/4) > >>

DragonOsman2:
Hey, there, everyone.

My problem, specifically, is that although the Code Blocks icon appears on my task bar when I try to open it, the window itself doesn't appear.  I tried uninstalling and then installing it again, but I get the same issue.  Until earlier in the day yesterday, it was working just fine, but then I started having this issue. 

Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Thanks.

Find default.conf and rename if. The file is somewhere in your AppData under the codeblocks directory.

DragonOsman2:
What should I change its name to?  Sorry if this is a stupid question.

oBFusCATed:
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. The idea is to remove the file and let C::B create a clean one.
But it you remove it then you'll loose all your settings, so renaming it will back it up and will let you restore it if this is not the cause for the problem.
Also if this is the cause of the problem you can copy parts of the old settings.

DragonOsman2:
I get that, but what I should I rename the file to?  

And I got this error while trying to build a program: "LINK||fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'".

What should I do for that?

Edit: Okay, never mind.  I got that default.conf thing down.  Now it's just error, and also another problem: when I try to create a project, it gives me the message "couldn't save project invalid path" and also "maybe the file is write protected?".  I don't get it.
