IDE memory error while switching tabs

Post by bbanelli »

Greetings to all,

PB 5.31, x64, Windows 7 x64.

While shutting down a project and cleaning few temporary tabs, I encountered the following error.

No further information was available and I couldn't find any log about this error. It happened while I was switching tabs and I tried to recreate it but with no success.

Is there any way of making this bug report more sane?

With my best,

Bruno

bbanelli et al-

I got the same error after moving a project to a new folder. You find out how to fix this?

This happen whenever I start the ide! I can't use it at all. I have cleared out the folders that I thought had the problem, rebooted, re-installed, all to no avail.

Win 7 x64, 5.31. Worked for 1 week.

Anything in registers I need to look at?
:cry:
Please Help!!

Charlie

Try to close the "New Form" tab... I think there was some issues with that... Maybe this helps.

The problem is, I can't do anything. Once I click on the error "OK" button the .exe terminates. No other clicks are active.

I'm stuck!

I've experienced this few times more, every time related to closure of Projects. Is there a way to submit more thorough report since this message is all I got?

I can tell you only that the problem appeared after I made a new project, including a new form. I then saved the project, and exited. I then removed the project. Now, every time I open the IDE, I get the memory error- and after clicking OK, The IDE exits.

I can't get into ANY file or project now on THIS computer.

No clue how to fix. I have tried replacing the files, but I have must them in the wrong place and/or order- I can't get it run.

I have tried a complete uninstall, reinstall, etc. No help.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!

Hi Charlie. Have you made sure that PB prefs was removed or renamed after uninstallation? Stored in %AppData%\PureBasic

Find your preference files either in your user directory or the pb install directory(if /portable install) and edit with NotePad or NotePad++.
You can also try deleting or moving them to a backup folder if you want to compare them with the defaults.
"C:\PureBasic\UpdateCheck.xml"
"C:\PureBasic\PureBasic.prefs"
"C:\PureBasic\Templates.prefs"
"C:\PureBasic\Tools.prefs"
"C:\PureBasic\Visual Designer.prefs"

Fixed for now... try not to repeat the steps that caused it to stop working in the first place. :wink:
