Trying to Learn C++

[willlearn]

I am new to using CodeLite as well as C++. When I first installed CodeLite, I tried to build my project but Windows gave me a Not Responding message. So I uninstalled CodeLite, and reinstalled it, and I am still getting a message saying CodeLite isn't responding.
Let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thanks.

Which version of codelite? Which version of Windows? 32bit/64bit?

Thank you for responding.
The codelite version is 8, and I have a 64 bit version of Windows.

You might try installing the 7.0 version (I use it, so know it works on Win7 64 bit)

Also maybe first try compiling a simple hello world c console program and see if that works. (If it builds try running it from the cmd.exe shell)

I created a hello world program, and I pressed f7, but it wouldn't respond.
So uninstalled codelite 8 and installed codelite 7. Then I opened the workspace where I had my hello world program, and press f7. But its still not responding. Should I have deleted a file before running the program?
