Sorry for the cross post. Also in XP Help and Support but no response...
I'm using ZiLOG's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to develop
embedded application software for my company's product. Recently upgraded
XP Pro to SP2. Now whenever I build my application my screen momentarily
goes
black then returns to the IDE window. If I use Explorer to launch the
compiler program (double click the .exe) I get the same result. If I'm quick
enough with Alt-Enter I can force the screen back to Windows and a DOS box
will be showing for the .exe that was launched.
If I launch ANY command line (DOS) program with Explorer I get the same
results. This tells me that the behavior has something to do with how
Windows handles
command line based programs. Since this is recent behavior I can only
presume it has something to do with SP2. I"m hoping it's a registry setting
or something that I can adjust.
Any help appreciated. Thanks,
Steve C.
