Sorry this is the second time I wrote this because it didn't appear on the forum the first time.
My problem is I can't run a dGdk program from the debug file made by visual studio. All my direct x stuff is installed correctly and it runs fine in the ide.
thanks

I, Pariah

I don't do that ever. Have you tried making a release version of your program and try running the release?

Don't forget in both cases (release or debug mode) - if you run the EXE directly - you want to copy the EXE up one directory - so its "like" the environment in the compiler... files/media will be seen the same way etc.

compiler puts exe's in debug or release dirs but the "Working Directory" is the one above it.
