Can't use C++

[curiously enough]

Everytime I try to open C++ I get the message: "Project file C:\BC5\BIN\bcwd ef.ide already exists! Overwrite?".

_If I press "Yes" I get a message:"Cannot open C:\BC5\BIN\bcwd ef.bcw as a project file", and then I press OK, and then a new text file will open but I cannot press the run button to execute any program, and the compiler wil say Failure to any program regardless whether there are errors in the code or not and it doesn't say where it encountered errors.

_If I press "No" or "Cancel" I get the an error message and the whole program closes.

What should I do?

Did it work before? Was your installation successful?

I've been using C++ for 2 years, this started happening a week ago.

I could really use some help here.

I'd say simply delete that .ide file and see what happens. Somewhere along the
line your IDE goofed and got strangled in some catch 22; it doesn't have to do
much with the C or C++ programming languages.

If all else fails (re)install the darn thing or install something else.

kind regards,

Jos

I already tried deleting the file, more than once(everytime it shows up again in the search files, even after I delete it).
Are you sure it can't be fixed?
