Code::Blocks F9 Doesn't Do Anything

Hi

I'm brand new to Programming and working my way through the C++ tutorial on this site (I've reached lesson 2!). I'm having a problem that is probably just me doing something stupid.
When I open Code::Blocks and my Project, I can click F9 and it compiles and runs. If I then make any changes to the code, F9 does nothing. The Green Run shortcut icon is not highlighted and if I go to the Build tab on the main menu, that too is greyed out.
Even if I open a new project, F9 does nothing. The only way I can get it to compile and run again is to shut down Code::Blocks and restart it.
Any ideas? Even if I'm just being really, really stupid?!

Thanks

What kind of program (console or windows)

When you ran it, did it actually finish, or is it waiting for the "press any key to exit" type thing?

This doesn't happen to me.
You'd probably be better off posting on the code blocks forum: Code::Blocks - Index
ANd of course, it would be very helpful if you mention vital information such as version number, operating system & version etc.

Hi Salem and iMalc - thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

I think I've worked out where I'm going wrong. I have been copying and pasting the example codes into the project window and it's after doing that I find I can't Run. I guess I'll just stop doing that!

Appreciate your advice about the vital information I need if I'm asking for any more help. Just for the record, I'm in Code::Blocks 10.05 and running Windows 7 on a 64bit machine.

Thanks again
