(EDIT: the problem is solved. This thread may be removed in a few days)
Not sure if this is a bug in Blitz or somewhere else in this machine. Blitz worked without problems until yesterday. I was compiling a program that was trying to use a function from a 3d headset dll, something we discussed some time ago in the Blitz3D section.
During compiling the progressbar then used to freeze. I had to kill the blitz tasks in the task manager. After that Blitz (or the IDE) couldn't be started anymore. When I run it, there's some activity, the hourglass, but then nothing happens. 3 Tasks show up in the manager: ide, blitz3d and blitzcc. But no visible IDE. Got to kill them manually.
Reinstalling the Update (191 or 196) didn't help. So I completely uninstalled Blitz3D (the file cfg blitz.fon was locked for some reason and couldn't be uninstalled, I clicked "ignore").
Then I reinstalled Blitz3D from the original CD (I think version ~1.64). This version was working. THen I updated to 196 - no success, the same problem again. So I De-Reinstalled again and updated to 191, again without success.
It's an old Thinkpad that I use to surf the web, with win98 (not SE) and msie 5.5.
191 was running without any problems before, what could be the cause?
I didn't install anything in that time, so I think it's nothing to do with a new app. I also scanned the system for viruses using the latest antivir update.
