Problem starting Codeblocks, PLEASE HELP!

<< < (2/3) > >>

reapher:
There's only one comctl32.dll in my system32 directory and it's version 5.82.8790.3959, however there are two in this folder WINDOWS\WinSxS inside two subdirectories:

This one is the same version as above and both of them are 585kB:
I:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_5.82.3790.3959_x-ww_78FCF8D0\comctl32.dll

And this one is version 6.0 and is 1 MB:
I:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.3790.3959_x-ww_D8713E55\comctl32.dll

Could this be causing the problem? None of my other apps are misbehaving

reapher:
Thanks for the input but I figured it out  :P

I had to delete the codeblocks directory in the application data folder that's hidden under Documents and Settings in WinXP, codeblocks worked no problem

orel:
If by deleting the Codeblocks dir in Application Data it might be a CB problem.
It would be interesting to learn more about this one.

Just in case of, do you always have the old AppData/Codeblocks dir in your bin?

reapher:
Nope I didn't make a backup of the folder, sorry. If it happens again I'll check out specifically which files were bad

For what it's worth, I had exactly the same problem on Vista after a PC crash. I've kept a copy of the folder after removing it if anyone wants to see it.
