Dev-C++ IDE problem

Not strictly a c++ issue but the IDE IS related so I hope someone here can help -its driving me nuts.

When I am typing in source code, every once in awhile I do "something" (I think) and the box with the compile icon goes all grey and I cannot compile.

I am a rank beginner trying to learn C++ on my own so any help will be appreciated.

TIA
Try Restarting Dev c++.
