    system("TITLE Stop Watch!!");
    system("COLOR 29");
    cout << "                               " << time << "\n\n\n" ;
    cout << "to pause hit p" ;
    cin >> s;
    if ( s == "s")
    {
         system("PAUSE");
         }
    _sleep(45);
    system("CLS");
    time = time + 0.1;
    }
    while (time <= 1000);
    if (time == 1000);
    {
             cout << "whatever you are timing takes a really long time.........." ;
             system("PAUSE");
             return 0;
             }
    
    
    system("PAUSE");
}

Have you tried debugging it to see when it crashes? Or does it crash before it even starts?
cainen172 (151)
no i havent. but when try it just tells me that i dont have debugging info. and then it asks if i want to enable debugging and rebuild my program???????? what do i do?????
to rebuild it can i just copy my code and paste it back???

Cainen172 - Never use system("pause") if you are serious about programming. Its non standard and a bad programming habbit.
Check out this link for the reason behind it and alternatives for this:
