Problems Using Borland's Turbo Debugger with Windows (82311)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82311 SYMPTOMS
The Borland Turbo Debugger for Windows that comes with most Borland
development tools for Windows may experience problems when run under
Windows version 3.1. For example, the following may occur:
- Screen colors may contain random blocks and stripes.
- Buttons may not be repainted properly.
- The mouse icon may disappear after exiting from Turbo Debugger.
These problems only occur in enhanced mode and occur with both the
standard and super VGA video drivers that come with Windows 3.1.
CAUSE
The WINDEBUG.DLL file that is shipped with Borland's C++ 2.0, 3.0, Turbo
C++, Turbo PASCAL, and so on dated before April 1992 is incompatible with
Windows 3.1. This incompatibility exists because the debugger depends
on data structures specific to Windows 3.0.
WORKAROUND
If you have a licensed copy of the Windows 3.1 Software Development
Kit (SDK), you can rename the CVWIN.DLL file to WINDEBUG.DLL. This
should be an acceptable workaround until you can obtain Borland's
updated releases of WINDEBUG.DLL.
