I hope this is helpful tip!
(Using Microsoft VC++ 6.0 on Win 98)
I had problems awhile back with creating Windows applications (dialog boxes, etc.) (DOS window worked ok); whenever I tried to build the executable, Windows would immediately throw me to the blue screen error message and would not allow me to get back to the desktop. The only way I could recover was to hit the power button on the PC (CTRL-ALT-DEL didn't even work.) Eventually, I found that I had setup different log-ins for my wife and myself and the comiler must have been quite confused. After I deleted the separate accounts and just went to no account (as logging in is not required in Win 98) the problem cleared up (However, I still have to hit "compile" before "build" or it may still occur.)
Hope this helps someone since I fought this problem for several months with no clue what was wrong!
