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.
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.
I don't think its my program because it worked fine last time i
opened it.
I meant "Which program just flashes on screen and exits so fast you

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.
It was the IDE opening my source that flashed and died. Although it
didn't even show a glimpse of the source before dying.
It's good to know what thoses files are for. I never ran across any
documentation on them. I will certainly give that a try
next time.
Never the less FPC is a marvelous system.
Thanks JY
