I have a problem with this code: i am using mingw and when i compile it using: g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld.exe it works on the machine that compiled it for hous no problems at all. but on other machines such as XP Pro it runs the first cout line and crashes here is the code (this is to capture barcodes not a key logger )
