Delphi Integrated Debugger
--------------------------
Delphi's integrated debugger is a feature of the IDE that allows
you to execute, step, trace, and otherwise debug your Delphi
applications. By default, Delphi's integrated debugger is enabled (via
Options|Project|Integrated Debugging) on startup of Delphi.
The debugger handles certain interrupts and operating system debugger
hooks in an effort to trap General Protection Faults and other types
of exceptions. Other programs that attempt to handle exceptions in the
same way will quite possibly conflict with the integrated debugger.
DataSafe is one example of a program that conficts with the integrated
debugger. Classic symptoms include, Delphi not recognizing that you've
stopped your program and getting kicked into DOS without warning at
various stages.
To test for a debugger conflict, compiling the program from Delphi,
and run it from File Manager. If it runs, then disable the integrated
debugger, and run your application. If it still runs, then the problem
is most likely a conflict between the exception-handling software and
the integrated debugger.
There are two ways to fix this. The first is to remove the
conflicting software. The other is to disable the integrated
debugger by un-selecting Options|Enviroment|Integrated Debugging.
