BlitzMax keeps crashing when I get error boxes

| ||
For some reason this last few months whenever my program produces an error when it is running - e.g. when the Error box normally comes up - my whole system freezes. The screen display freezes - but stuff is still going on underneath - its just that I can't see it. About 60% of the time I will be able to bring up the Ctrl_Alt_del process manager and shut my program down manually. Howver the rest of the time, I have to shut my laptop. When I open it - the display will not be frozen, and I can then shut the process down manually - although after this the system will then automatically shutdown (because I shut the lid previously and it triggers this). This is really annoying - does anyone know why this is. Should I reinstall Blitz? |

I've had similar problems. Only in Debug mode though, when running full screen. I've had to pull the plug from my pc as I've not been able to exit at times. |

I've never even seen an error box pop up ever, the past year playing around with Bmax. I had no idea there even was an error box?!?! The only time I know an error occurs is via the console. wow... |

That happens when running a max application in debug mode using full screen. If you're using BLIde, BLIde will auto-recover after 30 seconds if the system gets irresponsive on a debug error when using full screen. On other IDEs (as far as I know) you have to brute-force restart your computer. |

I've had a look at BLide, but had a few problems with it (such as not exiting from the IDE). I'll have another look. |

don't test in full screen unless you're just testing full screen. |

Yes its in debug mode running full screen. What's strange is that it never used to crash - except very occassionly. I used to get the error box and then I would click ok and it would return me to to the program, with the faulty line highlighted. Now - it never returns me to the program it just freezes. Its hard to know what the error is sometimes as well. I could run in windowed mode - but I can't see the whole screen area, although its better than nothing. |
