That sounds like bad news... so why were msvc and mingw co-existing on my PC for about a year before this happened?

Anyway, what advantages/disadvantages have you with respect to MSVC for Csound? If MSVC is better, I might as well just switch. Do you use the commercial or the free compiler?

Regards,
Mike
