the bad news : the crash is not gone !!!!!
This is what I am suffering from (windows XP : revision 2255):
- I have a simple project, old version : 1.3
TEST 1:
--------
- in explorer I double click on it's .cbp file
- CB starts : shows it splash screen, shows the first message box, saying that we need to go from projects versions 1.3 to 1.4, and then nothing happens anymore, CB is using 99% cpu.
TEST 2:
--------
- open CB, open my 'old' project
- message box 1 : 1.3 to 1.4
- message box 2 : saying the project file fomat will be updated on save
- --> project is open, close it, but don't save it (so it remains on 1.3)
TEST 3:
--------
- in CB, settings->Environment->untick "Show splash screen at startup"
- close CB
- in explorer I double click on our project's .cbp file
- message box 1 and message box 2 show up, and the project is loaded
--> what is wrong ? deadlock between splash and the 2 message boxes ?? or is DDE also involved ?
[EDIT : EXTRA]
TEST 4:
--------
- in CB, settings->Environment->tick "Show splash screen at startup", and untick "Run DDE server"
- close CB
- in explorer I double click on our project's .cbp file
- messagebox 1 AND (!!!) error box saying that my cbp could not be found (remark1), click ok in the error box, click ok in the messagebox1 --> CB hangs (99% cpu)
------> this seems to indicate it is not DDE related
remark 1:
---------
-> this is very weird this error used to show up in the past when the DDE was running, now it's the opposite
