Okay, I have now tried at least five different examples, copied the code to the editor window via that nice little button and run each one. It is consistent in that each time it completely locks up the machine.
I installed the DirectX 8.1 update as included on the CD.
I then installed DarkBasic Pro.
Next, I tried the simple example of the spinning cube. That works!(only thing that has)
I have tried to execute the "Display Functionality" example. Screen goes black, graphic cursor appears. Completely locked up machine.
Same thing occurs with three other examples I tried. I tried running a 3D example and it wouldnt compile due to an error in the code. Now, shouldn't the product at least be shipped with simple things like this fixed?
So, I still cant load DBPro patch 1 because it locks up the machine. Is that why I am having all these problems?
HELP! This has got to be one of the worst experiences to date with new software I have had to date.
