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.
