Visual Studio 2010 在调试 C 时挂起

Question

So I'm just starting out with Visual Studio 2010, which is what they gave us at the university for our lessons in C language.

I wrote the simplest thing I could think of, just to test it out. It's a single printf command, naturally with the appropriate library included and a "main" function.

#include <stdio.h>
void main() 
{
    printf("Hello world");
}

Compilation goes through just fine, but when I start the program without debugging it just shows me an empty screen. Debugging the program freezes VS altogether.

Asked my teacher and professor, asked my student peers, asked Google, and no proper answer so far. I've tried reinstalling Visual Studio twice.

Does anyone have a clue as to what's going on?
