I took your advise and tried it all -- it's been a week now and I'm ready to give up I tried w/ CW Pro 5, Pro 5.3, Pro 6.0 -- nothing I do not think it has anything to do w/ caching or a memory leak in the debugger -- I get the problem right away, first run, any line in the main; i.e. freshly build, freshly run, even tried restarting OS before running, etc. I'd really like to get The Debugger (I assume you mean MWDebug) -- I only have Pro 4, 5 and 6 -- who should I contact to get MWDebug from CW Pro 2 or whatever version it came with last FYI: the appl. xSYM file is about 3MB apparently, when I step, the debugger does stop, but there is no context info: the debug window says that the appl is executing, but the processes window tells me that the (main) thread is stopped what may cause the debugger to loose its context? -- please do not tell me that the Data folders are corrupted, I've rebuild it today a thousand times already (thrown Data folders away, yada,yada, yada) any other things I could try? any settings that may cause this?
