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

<< < (2/2)

peter:
I read them already. I'm not asking a programming question because the program I wrote worked and I changed nothing about that. It's not a compiler question because it compiles, it just stops running at some point. The only thing I changed is I downloaded Codeblocks on windows 8 instead of XP so that's why I'm posting in this forum ( There's the "Using CodeBlocks" board to help newbies set up their compilers and change their configuration). It seems to me this question belongs in this forum. If not, point me to where it does and I gladly go there.

After that fails to help you please go to a website that supports your OS, Compiler and C++.
I suggest http://cboard.cprogramming.com/ remember to post the full "build log".
Edit: I am just guessing it will fail; but, who knows there might be a problem shown if you post the information.

Something I was planning to put on the Wiki; but, I have NOT yet done it.

Using MinGW GCC in Code::Blocks (CB) problems types:
   1. Toolchain configuration issues
       See link for things to try to fix Toolchain http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,18075.0.html
   2. Compiler Installation issues
      a. Compiler not installed
      b. Compiler only partly installed
      c. Compiler installation damaged
   3. Compiler Conflict issues
      a. Cygwin in the system path
      b. MSys in the system path
      c. Special folder exists on your computer.
   4. CB project settings issues
      a. Project/target is not using the correct Compiler
      b. Project is using more than one Compiler
   5. Security related issues
      a. Windows security
      b. Anti-Virus caused issues

Your problem is likely caused by a part 5 "Security related issues".

Jenna:
Might also be a different path in "Project -> Properties -> Build targets -> [actual target] -> {Execution working dir and/or Output filename}", so the file can not be found.
Unfortunately this is a very common error.

Both are not C::B but configuration errors, but more or less (more less than more  ;) ) related to C::B.

peter:
Thanks all for your responses. I just got it to work by just rebuilding the project. You're probably facepalming for this, but all I ever used was the Build and Run button.
