Installation problem
I have just installed BCB6 Pro Student's Edn. I can correctly compile and
run a console app.
Problem: When I am in Widows Explorer and I put the cursor onto the prog.exe
file that I have made, the computer 'freezes' for about 1 minute. With
system monitor I can see that the cpu becomes 100% utilisation during this
time, dropping back to normal after. It happens every time. This does not
happen with other prog.exe files, i.e., ones I haven't made.
Can anybody help? Which BCB or other settings could cause this?
Env is WinME, 400MHz Celeron, enough room on disk, ...
Thanks in advance.
Peter.
 

it could be your virus scanner checking it because of the new file date.
try running it again before recompiling.

Hi, Peter!
Sorry, doesn't seem to make any sense if you are just hovering the
cursor over the file.
Still, I'd strongly recommend upgrading from Windows Me. ;-) It may be a
bug in the OS.
