CodeView for Windows Appears to Hang with Minimize on Use

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft CodeView for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.01, and 4.1
• Microsoft CodeView for Win32s, version 4.25

SUMMARY

If the Minimize on Use option is set in Program Manager and you start CodeView from a Program Manager icon, the system may appear to hang in the debugging session. This occurs after you run the program to completion, then choose Restart from the Run menu and choose F5 to run the program again. CodeView may appear to cause the system to hang even though the mouse moves and other applications may be running in the background. This problem occurs with both single-monitor and dual- monitor debugging.

   Disable the Minimize On Use Option When Debugging
   -------------------------------------------------

   Running an application in CodeView for Windows can disable mouse
   and keyboard control if the Minimize On Use option is set in the
   Windows Program Manager. This behavior occurs if you run an
   application using F5, restart from the Run menu, and begin to debug
   the application. If you experience this problem, use CTRL+ALT+SYSRQ
   to stop the application, issue the WKA command from within CodeView
   for Windows, and choose Exit from the File menu to return to
   Windows.
