Hey,
literally just installed DBP, and i was looking through the demo projects that come with it, and i after a while i found the a couple buttons that looked like it'd run it; F6 (debug) and F5.

when i pressed debug, it loads all the way to the end of " building executable " then stops.

when i press F5 to actually run the EXE i get this error message:



i thought that there might be something wrong with the projects for some reason.


so i wrote the hello world script;




and when i press F5 i still get this error, but when i press F6
a black screen comes up with Hello world, so i'm guessing that this is right.

help appreciated.

i'm not sure, but try running it in Administrator mode. this might help because otherwise teh DBP editor cannot write to Program Files. try saving a project to your desktop ad running it there, i think then it'll work. so you could just run it everytime as admin, or switch of UAC

You can install DirectX 9 alongside DirectX 10. I'm pretty sure this is the same one I downloaded to a friends computer to get one of my Darkbasic programs to work.

I'm sorry it's giving you a hard time but stick with it... it's worth it. But if you no longer get a DirectX error you should try a smaller program like your Hello World program.

Is it taking forever to compile?

DarkBasic is something i really do want to start getting into properly.

It's not compiling at all, the activation box is stopping it from compiling.


The bigger program is something someone else sent me that they made ( a super mario-like game )

The hello world program works fine though, so im not sure what's going on really to be honest =/

That's weird... once it's been activated you shouldn't see that window at all. At least in the full version you never see that window when it compiles.

Maybe it's that program... try some of the code you see around the forum. Something more advanced than "Hello World" but less than the one your trying to run.
