Nobody/Anonymous - 2002-09-10

<snip>
I have a student who sent me the following mesage:

I downloaded Dev-C++ from the website you had in the syllabus.  I installed version 4.0 and installed the 4.01 patch.

I open the program and entered in my program for my homework.  When I click on compile and run, I get the error message in the attachment below.

Can you please help me figure out if something is wrong with my installation of Dev-C++ or if there is another problem.  I double-checked my compiler options to be sure it is looking for the correct location for the program files and it also gives me an error message.

The error messages are:
"Could not create Code Completion list file"
"Could not create default code file."

I suspect the other one is on not being able to read/modfiy the devcpp.ini (?) file when trying to look at compiler options.

I suspect my student may be using Windows 2000 perhaps as a normal/standard account user (not as a power user/adminstrator). What are the likely source(s) for these error messages and what is the impact of installing on Win2k as a normal user? Thank you for taking your time to read this message and offer your input.
