Rarely turn to this site for help but i've stumbled upon the issue that when i try to use the standard GUI form it seems to just shut down Dev C++ without saving progress. I don't get any error logs, and of course i've tried reinstalling the software. I'm not really sure whats wrong. Im' guessing the problem is somewhere within compiling the program hence it will shut down while doing so.

Any idea's on this issue? I'm 99% it's NOT a virus infection sence by several reasons it would be very unlikely for me to get infected.

Again i excuse myself for grammatical or spelling mistakes i might have done. Thank you for taking your time reading this and please try contacting me regarding the issue if you do have any clue what is wrong.

Thank you.

I guess you are using the rather old 2005 release from bloodshed.net, which is supposedly a bit buggy + was made for XP which isn't going to help it's stability on something like Windows 7. I would recommend getting the latest version of it from here or switching to something else such as Code::Blocks. The best I could suggest otherwise is running it in compatibility mode with admin privileges.
