issue with the debugger

CodeLemming:
Hello all!

I'm relatively new to code::blocks and C++ programming and I'm running into a problem with the debugger; it doesn't seem to work. Now, it might be working, but I'm not entirely sure seeing as what happens when I run the debug doesn't match up with what I see in youtube vids tutorialing the code::blocks debugger. Everything seems to compile correctly, but the debugger ignores breakpoints and no windows of any kind pop up. I've gone through most of the threads here that have anything to do with debugger problems and none of them help me.

I'm working with Windows 8 , code::blocks 13.12 , [-g] is checked (on) , [-s] is unchecked (off) , MinGW GDB version is 7.5 , the full debug log is on and I will include it if someone can tell me how to use the 'code' er.. tagline?  Saw it mentioned in one of the posts, but I lost it in my despair of fruitless searching.

stahta01:
The # sign above creates [ code ] and [ /code ] markers without any space in them.

That is how to do code sections like the debugger log.

CodeLemming:
Thank you stahta01.

so here's the debugger log then.

any suggestions?

oBFusCATed:
GDB failed to start your program.
Do you happen to use an antivirus software?

Jenna:
Normally "error 740" means the process you try to run needs admin rights.

It might work from a folder below your user-directory or if you start C::B as administrator or if you turn UAC off (if it still exists in win8).
