Well I set the display mode and it says screen depth is illegal. Here is the code.

I had a similiar problem with
set display mode 1280, 1024, 32

It worked on my home computer but not on some others whose video card couldn't handle the resolution.

I just commented out the set display mode line and let the computer use what the resolution it was set to and it seemed to work ok.

looking at your code I'm hopeful that omitting the set display mode line shouldn't effect the placement of your objects on your screen. this happens to me sometimes if I'm using sprites but I didn't see you using sprites anywhere.

Just a thought; my computer don't like the DBP executables running in 32-bit mode (I guess it's DirectX's fault; otherwise it would be strange that everything else can run in it...)
