Hi,
I have no confusion to run the C++ 3.0 program from the command prompt over XP OS, but when I am trying to maximize the C++ 3.0 blue colored window by pressing Alt+Enter, it get freeze situation, and nothing work in that windows.
I tried to research by myself, but I did not any solution. If any tell me the solution I would be appreciate about that.

The solutions that most of us can suggest will just be educated guesses until you find an answer that works but I would first try to go into the properties of the executable for the IDE (right click on the ide executable from within windows explorer) and select properties. When the properties dialog opens go to the "compatibility tab" and set it to run compatible with win 95. Like I said, it's just an educated guess but it is at least a place to start. Also, try disabling visual themes and turn off advanced text services (if this option is available) as well. As well, if these tabs are available (and they should be) then try these other options. On the "screen" tab, within the usage option group, try setting it to run full screen emmediately when the program starts so you don't have to use <alt-enter> at all. Within the window option group make sure "Restore settings at startup" is checked. In the "Performance" group make sure both check boxes are checked. Now, on the "Misc" tab (select it) disable "Allow screen saver" and "Always suspend". Check "QuickEdit" and "Exclusive mode" in the "Mouse" option group. Try this too...select the "Program" tab and then click the advanced button on that property page. Make sure that "Compatible timer hardware emulation" is checked if this option is available and click the ok button. Another thing to try can be found on the "Memory" tab (select it). In the "Conventional memory" option group check the "Protected" option box. Your IDE app may also be looking for expanded memory. This is an old memory configuration/protocol but older DOS level IDEs used to use expanded memory alot (Borland mainly). I would set it for at least 2048. I believe that those would be all the options that could potentially have an effect such as the one you are describing. I listed quite a number of things to check or change so I wouldn't make those changes all a once. Try each change one at a time so you can both determine what option worked and secondly not create an additional problem by enabling un-necessary options. Good luck!

Hi Sir,
Thank U for reply. I follow your instruction, and the C++ 3.0 program works in maximize windows, but I still get stuck in full screen windows, it still creates freeze situation in that size.
