I have Windows 7, I've tried re-installing it, letting it through my firewall and trying it with the XP and Vista compatibility packs. Can someone please tell me a suggestion to fix this.

the (scant) Win7 compatability thread is HERE

the bottom line is:
Quote: "
* Needs to be run in Administator mode.
1. Right click on program icon
2. Click on the compatibility tab
3. Under Privilage Level, place a tick next to Run this program as an Administrator.
4. Click OK.

** Needs Direct X 9.0c updated

1. Click here for the Microsoft Direct X updater.
2. Run downloaded exe and run through on screen instructions.
"


the vista thread has a variety of approaches that might help as well.

as a reminder, you need to install the latest DirectX 9.0c for DBPro to work. people tend to think that since they have vista/win7 and dx10(+) on their systems then it's good to go, but you still need dx9.0c (which installs alongside later versions).

otherwise, you state it "won't open"; what exactly is it saying/doing, etc?

The first time I tried to open it after I installed it, it tells me that I need to run as administrator. I try that, and then it doesn't open at all. It doesn't have an error screen or anything like that. I double-click, then nothing. Thanks for the forum reference though.

Also, I have another problem. On the forum http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=160615&b=1
it tells you to install DirectX 9.0, but when I downloaded it then extracted it, it tells me that it only updates it and since I have DX 11, it doesn't do anything. Can anyone help?

Sorry for the very long delay. With John Y, when you said download the version of the editor, I thought you meant of DBpro. I now know it's synergy editor. Just so you know, it works really well.
