Question and Answer Database FAQ4394C.txt :Why does my compiler crash windows when I load it up? Category :IDE Platform :All-32Bit Product :All-CBuilder, Question: C++Builder crashes Windows when I run it. How do I fix this? Answer: What usually causes this is a conflict in softare and/or hardware drivers. Try running C++Builder in Windows Safe-Mode. You can get to safe-mode by hitting 'F8' when your screen says "Starting Windows 9x..." at boot time. Choose option 3 from the menu: "Safe Mode". Once in safe-mode run C++Builder. If C++Builder runs then something is conflicting with it when running in normal Windows. The most common things that can conflict with C++Builer are Virus Scanners running in the background and new Video Drivers. If you are running a Virus Sanner, try uninstalling it and rebooting. Chances are this will fix the problem. If it new hardware was installed on your system, like a video card, then try putting the old one back in your system, using different drivers or simply uninstalling the new piece of hardware. Unfortunately these sort of conflics are not always cut and dry "this is the problem". You may have to find the problem through trial and error. 2/22/1999 1:48:01 PM
