Thread: difference between running .exe and compiler running .exe???

I just recently changed my linked list over to a queue in my project since the linked list was having issues ending when at the end of the list. The queue works great, sort of, since I can get the size of the queue and stop the function once the size is reached. However, here is my problem. I can compile the program and it will run without any problems, and exactly as it i want it too. Then when I run the .exe file by clicking it the window comes up with "the program has encountered a problem and needs to close" message. So what are the differences between running it through the compiler/IDE vs. running it without the compiler? The part I changed is below. I should probably also note this is opengl, but the problem isn't opengl specific. If I render one object I can click the .exe and run it without the compiler and not have trouble. When I render more than one that's when I have troubles.

Code:

//head is the name of the queue, it is a private member of the class LOADOBJ

bool LOADOBJ::RenderAllObjects()
{
    if(head.size() == 0) return false; //nothing to render
    ObjectList *temp; //temp space for the render function
    int f_index = 0, f_index2 = 0; //face index, and non-changing face index

    /*render all objects to the screen*/
    glPolygonMode( GL_BACK, GL_LINE ); // draw back face with lines
    glPolygonMode( GL_FRONT, GL_LINE ); // draw front face with lines

    for(int n = 1; n <= head.size(); n++){
        temp = head.front(); //get the front object
        head.pop(); //pop the front object
        head.push(temp); //then put it back in line for the next time it's rendered
        for(int i = 0; i < temp->face_count; i++){

            //determine what type needs to be rendered
            if(temp->vert_per_face[i] == 4)
                glBegin(GL_QUADS); //render squares
            else if(temp->vert_per_face[i] == 3)
                glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES); //render triangles
            else if(temp->vert_per_face[i] == 2)
                glBegin(GL_LINES); //render lines
            else if(temp->vert_per_face[i] == 1)
                glBegin(GL_POINTS); //render points
            else
                glBegin(GL_POLYGON); //if nothing else render a polygon (5 or more vertex)

            f_index2 = f_index;
            for(int n = f_index2; n < f_index2 + temp->vert_per_face[i]; n++){
                //create the 3D vertex
                glVertex3f(temp->v_x[ temp->fv[n]-1 ], //x coordinate
                           temp->v_y[ temp->fv[n]-1 ], //y coordinate
                           temp->v_z[ temp->fv[n]-1 ]); //z coordinate
                f_index++;
            }
            glEnd();
        } //end for loop
        f_index2 = 0; f_index = 0;
    }
    return true;
}
