Code blocks crashes on start up

[keniff]

Hello all,
I had Code::blocks 8.02 running on my windows xp home pc for some time. After i tried to install the OpenFrameworksWizard i can't start up codeblocks anymore. I followed this tutorial:
http://code.google.com/p/ofcodeblocks/wiki/InstallingOpenFrameworksWizard
After step 3 i had to restart code::blocks but it kept crashing, or better put, i wouldn't start up. Starting up my process manager i noticed that codeblocks.exe was using over 500MB of RAM and using alot of my CPU. No matter how long i waited, it wouldn't start up the program, nor give a windows crash report. It was just idling at 500MB it seemed.

After uninstalling and reinstalling several times i keep having the same problem. I uninstalled properly, cleaning out my registry. I downloaded the latest version. I downloaded the latest mingwm10.dll. But to no avail.

I do have a crash report in my Codeblocks folder, stating the following:

I have no idea what this is supposed to point out. Can somebody please help me out ?

If the changed config.script causes the crash on startup, or any other change to C::B's configuration, it will not be corrected by uninstalling or reinstalling the software.
The registry is only used for the file-associations, so there is no need to change anything.

The configuration-files (also the changed config.script) are saved in %APPDATA%\codeblocks.
If you delete the whole directory, all your global changes you made to C::B are lost (search-directories, toolchain, ...).

As start-point, you should delete (or rename) %APPDATA%\codeblocks\templates\wizard\config.script.
If that works, you either messed something up there, or the OpenFrameworksWizard-script makes C::B crash.

If that does not work, you can try to rename the whole conf-folder and start C::B. It will create new files with default-values.

thank you very much for the reply Jens 

I located the appdata folder and deleted the default.conf and lo and behold, i'm back in the running!
