Help! Codeblocks hangs upon loading?
« on: May 23, 2009, 06:59:07 am »
I use codeblocks 8.02 in windows xp with the mingc? from the sourceforge site, the first time I run it was during the installation when finished it had a box run codeblocks now, so I checked it and it launched perfectly, in seconds. Now when  I try to launch it it hangs, going to a command line looking screen in black with a white minus sign and a movable square block flashing cursor. At first I thought it was loading something so I waited, after 20 minutes ( I was hoping for an easy fix ) I hit ctrl-alt-del and taskmanager appeared I hit end task under applications and a screen popped up,windows cannot end this program..... I hit end now, it went back to the same black screen. After about five more trys ( ctr-alt-del combo through end now ) it came up with the codeblocks interface and worked just fine with c and c++. Everytime I try to start it it is the same. I have even uninstalled it, removed all register pointers, and reinstalled from sourceforge and still the same. I feel its clashing somehow with the command line interface when loading, I would like to alter it to point at windows command line but I can not find a batch file or exe. file to open . Any Ideas would be appreciated.

It's too old.
Please use a nightly build version.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Did you try to delete the codeblocks configuration files in "c:\documents and settings\<username>\application data\codeblocks" ?

EDIT:
It's too old.

the age should not be the cause for the trouble.
We have some new features and also some bugs fixed since the 8.02 release, but it should run without such problems.
