The debugger is blanked out, I selected the path to gdb32.exe in the settings and enabled debug symbols and restarted .. still blank .. what else could there be?

I mean "start debugger"  cannot be selected ..

Do you have a project?
If you don't have a project the debugger won't work.

I have a C++ file that builds and runs, and I want to debug it because it crashes ..

I dont think it makes a difference if the code is organised as a project or a file .. and I have enabled debugging symbols directly in trhe compiler options so it is not needed in the project options.

The debugger doesn't work if you don't have a project.
This is just how it works.
It probably could be made to work without a project, but at the moment it doesn't.
