Hi. When I execute my newly compiled code I don''t get the usual execution window. You know, the black one where you can print text and stuff. Same goes for debugging. I used to have the complete VC++ 6.0 (where it worked fin), but now I have only access to the standard edition. I start out the code by chossing Win32 Application, then A simple Win32 application. I put these lines in the WinMain routine: bool quit=false; while (!quit) { } which should run forever. But nothing happens. What is wrong? Or, more correctly, the program is running, but it doesn''t show. As I press ctrl-alt-del (in XP) I notice that this little program is running, using up about 95% CPU-power.

try creating a console application instead of a win32 application and put that code in the main() function.
