Losing IDE when invoking HELP

[ahv]

I have been debugging an app that doesn't yet run properly when compiled as a release. I am making progress, but in the process of testing, something bad happened and now most of the time when I try to call up Help, I get a message that says "not enough memory, close some applications and try again" Then I click OK on the dialog box and everything including the IDE goes away. Then the computer gets really slow and I have to do a restart to get it back. I have reloaded windows, VC++, and SP2, so it must be some sort of config file problem somewhere. I have also done scan disk and registry checker. No problems are found. Any suggestions? I think a file somewhere got corrupted.

Hi Andy. The fact that your application will not run properly in release indicates a likely memory and/or resource problem within your code. And, you would want to track down this problem before going further.

You may want to run your program using integrated debugging and BoundsChecker by NuMega.

I hope this helps.
