I've never had problems with DevC++ though. The IDE may be slow at times but crashing is beyond my experience. That said, if you wish for a change in IDE, I'd recommend VS2017.

If you said that it is slow then turn away out from it and go to turbo C++ (Really old)

I do have experience drilling in to dll's / events / what's broken...but it can be several steps (what's your event log say? Are there​ other problems there? Are the DLL's "properly" registered with regserv/regsvr32? System vs app PATH? Have you cleared %TEMP%? etc.) A code here to comment on would separate the troubleshooting from Q&A...but StackExchange may even have the problem solved. There are often people there with direct experience who can get you through.

(edited) Ehhh, it's for older systems and I'd hope you didn't have to / could work with something more recent. The thing is, Silicon Valley ships their computer donations out to other countries... so I've developed some perspective that not everyone has ready access to the architectures here. Is your code posted here?

I tried to compile from command prompt and got problems with some dll then opened the ide and compiled a very short code with no errors.
