- Yes, I've been here. I disabled Codegard from the Tools, Codeguard Config
- menu and this problem went away. Strangely, I just tried to recreate the
- problem by enabling Codeguard again before I posted this, but the problem no
- longer happens.
-
- BTW, I found Codeguard to be quite useful at finding bugs in code which I
- thought was pretty well debugged, although it slows down execution speed by
- about 10 times in my application.

- Upgrading from 16 to 24 MB bytes of ram on a P5-90 running Windows 95 made a
- huge difference in the speed of the IDE.
