Ok, so I feel like a dork for this, but I've never had to run an executable on a computer that didn't have DBPro already installed, so I guess it was my mistake to assume it was a just copy and paste for an exe file.

After much disappointment here's what I've tried:
* Installed DirectX 9.0c End User Runtime (Fixed missing DLL warning)
* Run as admin (asked to make sure if I wanted to run, and said yes)
* Run in compatibility mode (for Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista SP2)
* Run as admin in compatibility mode

On all attempts after the DirectX issue it just won't open. The process is listed as it's there, but no screen for it.

System that I'm trying to run on specs:
64Bit Win 7
Radeon HD 5850 DirectX 11 Installed before 9.0c
4GB RAM
Doubt this is the problem...

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT:
It's not limited to the first computer it failed on. Tried on laptop (has an older version of DBPro installed), and it fails too.

Crash details from Vista crash:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: DBPP.exe
Application Version: 1.0.0.0
Application Timestamp: 4bd9fc9
Fault Module Name: StackHash_cbc1
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestampe: 0000000
Exception Code: c000005
Exception Offset 0000000
OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033
Additional Information 1: cdc1
And then some hashes

EDIT2:
So, I looked at the EXE in Dark_Explorer and all dlls are listed fine as they are listed in _Temp.dbm. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out.

Ran in 32 bit Vista, and no avail. I'll include source code and exe on this post if you could try it. I'm thinking it might be a DLL isn't getting included with the EXE as it should be, but that is a stretch.

So is there a way to make sure all dlls are included in the executable?
EDIT:
Yes there is... I do not have them externalized, so it should be working.

EDIT2:
So I tried to compile it on my laptop which it hasn't been running, and it compiles fine if I take out the Ian Matrix's commands (not on the laptop yet), but it still won't run.

Maybe its because the windows 7 is the 64 bit version if it ran on 32 bit vista then it should run on a 32 bit version of windows 7.I'm new so i dont know if darkbasic supports 64 bit operating systems but my guess is thats the root of your problem.

I should clarify that I'm using 64Bit Windows 7. I believe it has to do with DEP (Data Execution Prevention); however, I have no idea how to fix the problem.

I added an exception for the application, but it still fails. Maybe I'm not using the array properly.

Once again, any help is always appreciated.

Can you send me a copy of your project - just the exe, no media?

I'll take a look and see what plug-ins of mine are being used and which commands. I also saw your other post in the DBPro forum, so I'll see where the official commands and the ones from my plug-ins intersect and try and trace the problem.

Ok, It's attached here. I'll include the source, too. Keep in mind that I had a "Disable Escapekey" command located after the screen resolution that was holding it up too.

Also, the problem was only on some computers with no obvious commonality between them.

Thanks It decided to work on my laptop finally. I think it was just the disable escapekey command, because that's all I changed, which is very weird.
