Good point. Sorry a bit more info :-) By "in debug mode" I meant build config is set to "debug". What I mean by "Command Window" is it "Looks" like a command window, i.e it a Window Form with a black screen like a Windows Command Window/Terminal window. I suspect it is a type of "Event Log" window, but I cant find where this would be enabled/disabled. I will do a search to make sure I ma not using OutputDebugString() somewhere. I dont think I am, but you have given me some thoughts to look at.
