C++ wont stop building

[Logan1310]

Basically.... im 14 yrs old and i hav just started programming, ive got loads of books on the subject and im progressing steadly. The only problem i am having is actually building the app, sumtimes it works and sumtimes it wont stop trying to build the app (even if i try to cancel the build process).

Help would be really appreciated
thanx

Show your code. Are you using VS.NET or a previous version of VS?

It's not a code problem. I have the same thing occasionally (I use VC++ 6). I posted the same question on these forums, and someone told me it is anti-virus software. Disabling it should fix the problem, but that isn't an option for me, so I had to learn to live with it.

I have the problem too (with MSVC++ 6.0) but I don't have anti virus software installed...

Make sure you have the latest OS and Visual Studio Service Packs installed along with all OS and IE related Security patches.

[palbano]

Well you won't find them at sun.com or aol.com

msnd.microsoft.com for all things windows development
