RE: Press F12 to crash...

F12 is a well hidden very usefull feature of the MSVC, 
When you press F12 during debugging, it is generating hardware
breakpoint, (which looks very similar to the crash).
So I suppose this is what you are getting.
Do a search on F12 in msdn you`ll find out all about that.

 Cheers

Subject: [GD-Windows] Press F12 to crash... [bcc]
Importance: Low

Have just been informed by my mates that f12 crashes our game... i was
a bit worried.. so I went on a hunt.. eventually found that the crash
could be hit even before our game came up, so, me being who i am,
booted up the hello world wizard in VC6, and compiled it... and ran
the exe... pressed F12... and boom.

As you can imagine, i was puzzled by this behaviour... especially as
some of us use .NET and some use VC6 (like myself), and we tried to
attribute this problem to directinput until i pointed out that the
hello world app doesn;t use DirectX...

Anyone come across anything similar? the only thing we all seem to
have in common is that we are running XP sp2...

I am even running a different Platform SDK from them.

very odd.
