The laptop broke (BIOS problems), and as it was old, they replaced it. The new one runs XP, and RHIDE doesn't like it (or vice versa, not sure). I also have a desk-top, my home machine, which also runs XP, and RHIDE doesn't like that either - though the symptoms are different. On both machines, RHIDE will only work in a full screen. If I press Alt-Enter to put it in a window, as soon as I press F7 to single step, it jumps back to a full screen. On my home machine, when I single-step with F7, the screen goes black for about 2-3 seconds each time. If I use Shift-F7, that seems to work. My laptop is where I do most of my tinkering, though, and if I single-step there, the screen doesn't go black, and as long as the statement to be single-stepped is a simple arithmetic or comparison step, everything is fine, but if it involves a call to a function that is pre-defined by DJGPP, the program simply runs to completion without single-stepping. F4, to go to a statement nearly always works. However - I have just made a discovery - I was single-stepping a program that I wrote before I changed laptops, and RHIDE works OK with it, so now, I'd like to know where the difference lies. How do I find out? The screen looks slightly fifferent. It's still in a full screen, but one visible difference is the double-line surround of the window in focus. The vertical double-line characters don't meet up with each other down the edges of the window, giving the appearance of dashed double lines. I have the .gdt and gpr. files for both, but I don't know where to post them. Can anybody help? It would be really good to get this sorted out. I think RHIDE is great, and I'm a bit handicapped without it. Thanks, MikeC. -- Mental decryption required to bamboozle spam robots: mijewen$btconnect*com $ = @ * = dot
