[fpc-pascal] FPC Bombs
I am a regular user of FPC and find it is a great system. I ported a 10k line application from BP7 and it ran ten times faster. I am stuck with a problem that seems to happen about every month or so. When I click on the icon to start the program it just flashes on screen and exits so fast you can't see anything. In the past I found that re-installing FPC would fix it. This time it doesn't. I tried uninstall-reinstall no luck. I did have Norton decide to kill FPC and write protect it's directory, and delete the source file too. I killed Norton and removed it which uninstall won't do. A special program from the Norton web site is the only way to remove it. It worked well after Norton was gone. When FPC works it works great. I am running XP. Any ideas?

To start which program? The fp IDE, or your own program? If it's your own program, try compiling it with debugging information and running it in the debugger.

Re: [fpc-pascal] FPC Bombs
I don't think its my program because it worked fine last time i opened it. I just fixed it by removing FPC and deleting the FPC directory where it was installed then reinstalling. I dislike this a fix cause you don't know the cause. I did notice some stuff leftover from the remove but didn't keep it.

I meant "Which program just flashes on screen and exits so fast you can't see anything". From your answer above, I gather that it's not your own program? So which program is it? I just fixed it by removing FPC and deleting the FPC directory where it was installed then reinstalling. I dislike this a fix cause you don't know the cause. I did notice some stuff leftover from the remove but didn't keep it. If it is the Free Pascal IDE (fp.exe), you may want to try deleting all occurrences of "fp.dsk" and "fp.ini" you can find on your hard drive. Those store the IDE's settings. If such a file becomes corrupted for whatever reason, that might cause the IDE to crash.
