I have installed the program and downloaded and installed the patch.

I have Direct X installed (but when I tried to install it using the DarkBasic CD it said I needed to run the installation for Windows 2000, not the installation for Windows ME - I have no idea what that was about).

When I try to start the program the screen goes black, pauses for a few seconds and then returns to my desktop with a DarkBasic tag in the tray at the bottom of the screen.

I'm running a 2.0 mhz Dell, 512MB memory, GEForce 4 video card and Windows XP operating system.

make a system restore point first before installing just in case.

Im running WinXppro with DX9.* and it works fine (expect the uninstall)

Did you install the latest DX before or after you installed DB?
Try uninstalling DB, reinstalling DX, than installing DB.

Im no comptech, but it might help.
