General ⇒ Re: TeXnicCenter build crashes and disrupt other programs.

[norxy]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how stop or abort teXnicCenter build that has frozen? Everytime, I click on Build and if there is a lot of error messages, teXnicCenter sort of hangs and disrupts everything, e.g. if MS Outlook is opened then it stops responding. TeXnicCenter itself becomes slow and unresponsive. Everytime, I've to restart the computer. This morning, I've to start it several times already; this is pretty tedious.

Any suggestion would be appreciated,

It would be very helpful to know more (almost all) about your OS, your hardware, the build number of your TC and such things (e.g. wtf you use MS Outlook ).

A (perhaps) helpful hint: Make less errors

Seriously, I want to help you, but you provide not enough information.

It's OK. I've found the cause, forgotten one right '}'. This sent the program beneath TeXnicCenter into some kind of infinite loop. Closing TeXnicCenter doesn't stop the compiler (build) but there's a button on the top right that will stop the MiKTex running. I don't why this would interfere with Outlook etc?

Thanks.

By closing TC you kill the calling process to (pdf)latex, and then that loses its "home". That's IMHO just one reason for your experienced problem. I'm sure, that there are some (much?) other "things" that make your system such unstable.

Thanks, sorry for the late reply.
