Re: Crash problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

It isn't a bug that turns them on. It is a bug to turn them off. VS2005 finally creates
..pdb files for release versions by default, which is the only sensible and correct
behavior. Otherwise you can't debug the release version, or analyze a crash dump that
comes back.

There seems to be a bug in Visual Studio 2003 that turns those two settings
on when the project is created. Haven't tried 2005.

Debug Information Format under C++ should be Disabled. And the Generate
Debug Info under Linker/Debuggging should be No.

Thanks. I had them both switched on. Must have been a good idea at the
time - perhaps debugging a release only problem. Who knows, but they are
off now. Thanks for the help.
