Can't get Build and Run option to be available
« on: June 13, 2019, 09:03:36 pm »
Hello, I've been trying to debug CodeBlocks ever since my installation.  This time, the problem is, after I tried to Build and Run a simple project, the option, along with most of the other available buttons, becomes greyed out and would let me click on them.  I have included a screen shot to show what I mean.

Your program is running in the background? Blocked by some anti virus program probably?

I don't have an antivirus, actually.  I haven't seen any computer behavior to suggest I have a virus, though.

allenlswain: Either reboot your computer or use the task manager to kill your run away program.

Also what version of codeblocks are you using?
Try a  nightly. There should be a fixed bug that causes your behaviour
