Title: Problem with Console-Runner
Post by: eoneuk on May 04, 2007, 01:35:40 pm

Using XP sp2, Code:Blocks SVN 3915

Recently, and for reasons unknown to me, when I run a program that uses the CB console window, it switches my main screen to a 640 X 480 resolution.  When the window is closed the screen returns to its original resolution of 1152 X 864.
If I disable console-runner.exe and run the program, the standard console windows appears, and is normal in every respect with no change in resolution.

I have removed all CB files, and re-installed -- even some older versions -- but with the same result. Are there hidden files that contain some setting, or are there registry entries that need to be changed or removed? 

Any help will be much appreciated.

Ed

No idea.
The console runner is a simple console app. Open the source and see for yourself, it does nothing to your desktop resolution...

Check compatibility options in console runner's properties. There is an option that makes programs run at 640x480. Normally you have to explicitly enable it, so it would be strange if that's the case. Still, worth a try.

Thank you very much, Maciek. That resolved the problem.
