Program that worked in Win XP doesn't work on Win 8.1

(1/2) > >>

peter:
I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 and downloaded codeblocks (codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe). A program that I wrote with codeblocks on Win XP now doesn't work. It starts but somewhere along the line it stops and gives the following error: Process terminated with status 255.

The standard Hello World program does work.

How can I solve this?

Thanks,
Peter

Vuki:
It's impossible to tell without knowing your code. Windows 8 is much more restrictive in user access rights than XP. Maybe you run a program which tries to write to a restricted directory.

Jenna:
Where is the relation to C::B ?
Note Code::Blocks is not a compiler "just" an IDE.

If there is no relation, this thread violates our forum rules.

peter:
Since it worked on XP and doesn't on Windows 8 I assume it has to do with the installation of codeblocks right? Maybe there is some setting that I missed. If not, I apologise for posting here. Where do I then go?

For what it's worth, the code of the file where it stops is


--- Code: ---#include "Data.h"

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

size_t Data::getLines(string map, string name, string lines[])
{
    size_t i = 0;
    string fileName = map + "-" + name + ".txt";  // here it stops
    ifstream teksten(fileName.c_str());
    while (!teksten.eof())
    {
        getline(teksten, lines[i]);
        i++;
    }
    teksten.close();
    return i;
}

--- End code ---
