But where do I put that in the registry when I don't have the "Windows NT" bit like I said earlier. Shouldn't this have all been set up anyway when MS VS 6 was installed? >Once this is done, you can also >right-click on processes in >the task manager, and select "Debug"; the debugger will then attach to the >running process Sound like what I need. But I'm using Allegro for MSVC and my program doesn't crash, it just quits all by itself, it isn't left in RAM or anything... -- Paul Richards (AKA Pauldoo) mailto:paul AT dunvegan1 DOT demon DOT co DOT uk http://www.dunvegan1.demon.co.uk/paul/info.html
