Vista wont let runtime error be handled by bmax

| Hi I have a problem with vista, when a runtime error occurs it kills the running blitzmax program and wont let blitzmax IDE handle it. it gives this windows error message: name of prog.bmx has stopped working windows is checking for a solution to the problem It then terminates the program. even though its compiled with the Build Debug checked. and doesnt jump to the offending line. I did search in the forums for an answer, b4 posting. Vista users surely must of encountered this? Cheers Dibble |

| i'm on vista and i only get that popup if i try to continue a crashed program from the debugger (or if i'm compiling with debug off) |

| It kills the program no matter what. and doesnt go back to the editor, I am running the latest version 1.33, which I bought off the site so is a legit program. I'll try reinstalling it. Thanks |

| There might not be an exception being thrown at all, ie its some other point of failure. Try running in another debugger, like OllyDebug or similar... In any case, heres a tiny list of common failures ive run into that do not throw exceptions, and incidentally are all stack related. 1. Accessing Self/Fields from functions within functions. 2. Using the wrong calling convention on a function pointer. 3. Calling a function with wrong prototype (usually works, but might not) |

| I realised it was a divide by zero runtime error. Sorry I feel stupid for such a basic error. I had put integers instead of floats for some of the variables, when I was rewriting a program example by someone else. |
