Title: Bug ? codeBlocks "runtime error" when starting the codeBlocks.exe
Post by: omc on October 25, 2008, 08:17:13 am

Hi,
I see some topics with this subject on the forum with no answer.
I can't run codeBlocks.exe, windows  give me an "runtime error".

This error appears after a bug of my computer :
I work under a virtualBox Windows XP running under ubuntu. My virtualBox crashed (because energy-power management) when codeBlocks was shuting-down.
After this the "runtime error" appear and it's impossible to launch codeblocks.
I re-install codeBlocks but it do nothing.

It's very strange....
If someone have an idea, i don't want to re-install windows.... :?

PS : This problem is not particular to the virtual box. I find (on the web) the same bug with native window's  running.

Thanks, omc.

If i'm logging to windows with another user, code::blocks works perfectly...

Remove the configuration file(s) of C::B under the account in question.

I use "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\codeblocks" that way the username needs not be changed.
