quick console error?

hi, my program compiles and builds well but when it is run, the quick console gets stuck at getchar(). it even though i input something into the console (upon a request for user input), the getchar() doesn't seem to take in my keyboard input at all. any idea what's wrong with the quick console on this?
and what's the difference between a "quick" console and a normal console?
thanks!

Gab -

The Quick Console is actually a tool window inside Express, which will probably be in the lower right-hand corner. A "regular" console window will come up as well, but you'll need to interact with the console through this toolwindow inside Visual Studio.

Due to feedback similar to yours, we have actually removed the Quick Console between Beta2, and when we release VS2005, there will be no Quick Console available.

Dear Luke,

My main purpose of using Visual C++ is writing small win32 programs, and coming
from an embedded world, printf() is still my favorite debugging tool.

Did you consider just making the quick console output only?
It's a very usefull feature.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Louis
