compiler hanging when writing code

    I am using Vs 4.9.9.2.. When writing code the software hangs (loops) and the hourglass just stays up. There seems to be no pattern re what I am typing at the time. Windows (XP Pro) states the task is not responding. I have about 20 files in the project. Naturally my updates are lost as I have to delete the task when this happens. Are there any known bugs or resource settings I can adjust.

      Try to create a new empty project (C or C++, console, Windows etc) according to yours needs, and import the files from the old project.

      Revise specially the project-options.

      If you try to interact with a window that is "starved" of CPU time because of some other process, Windows will show it as "Not Responding" - merely because it's message queue backs-up.

      What you need to do is press CTRL-ALT-DELETE and click Task Manager, Select the Processes tab, and click the CPU column so that the highest CPU usage is at the top - that is the process that is hanging your system.

      If this process is indeed Dev-C++ - I have never seen this problems before and can suggest nothing other than a re-installation (the act of the desparate). If it is some other process, you need to fix your system rather than Dev-C++ - perhaps a virus or spyware or other malicious code is screwing it up.

      Thanks guys for the response - will let u know

      Will re install the project . Other things were running normally so I could delete just about everything else but it still did not get out of its loop.
