You haven't got any macros or add-ins that have crashed? I know that sometimes stuffs up my copy of VC6 when I've been using it for a while.

Service Pack 5 installed as well?

Well, I had it installed before I re-installed VS today (it was doing the same thing then, with SP5), and I'm busy downloading it now to see if it will do anything different.... 80%... *twiddles thumbs* Paul ;)

The only other thing which really annoys me is Norton Antivirus, which seems to want to hog my files when I try to start building, and won't let them be autosaved before the compile begins. Maybe a virus scanner problem? Some of the threads in the lounge today were about virus scanners that would ignore development directories.

Good idea - busy installing the SP now, and if that doesn't help I'll try disabling NAV. In fact the more I think of it the more I think that's the problem, because more and more I've learned to suspect Norton first... :suss: Paul ;)

:mad::mad::mad: Recently my VC++6 has developed a new trick: hanging during linking or compiling. What happens is when I hit Build the debug window says "Linking..." or "Compiling...", but does nothing after that. :confused: It's not as if msdev.exe hangs, because I can still move my mouse, click Stop Build (not that this does anything), and if I click Close, it says there are build processes still active!! :mad: [edit] It doesn't do that consistently either - it occasionally does manage [/edit] Has anyone else had this, and if so how can I fix it? Thanks in advance :-D Paul ;)

The problem is that
winoldap.execrashes. I can't remember how I fixed it though :(Ryan

Hmmm... I'll check that out, but it's now compiling again :confused: Better not say that too loud or it'll hear me :~ Paul ;)

What version of Windows are you running? I had the same problem on Win98, but never with Win95 or ME/XP.

At the moment XP. From what I see I'm not sure how well WinXP and VS6 like each other - but I might be wrong. Paul ;)

Paul van der Walt wrote: Weird... Maybe it's my bad Karma Nope. Try touching your left ear-lobe with your right big toe just as you hit the compile button, at the same time as putting your left hand on your head.

I had a similar problem at one point, the compilation would hang on specific files. It wouldn't really "hang", though, it would just take a ridiculously long time to compile (like, 30 minutes for one file.) It turns out the optimizer didn't like some of our code. I couldn't really blame it on the optimizer, though, since this particular source file was thousands of lines long and was really pretty crappily coded. The quick fix was to turn off optimization, the long-term fix was to fix the code. :rolleyes: "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute.
