Make sure you've got the latest video drivers, like Direct X 9.0b

You may need to set either window mode or full screen mode.

i have directx 9.0 installed. about the window or fullscreen mode, how would i change that?

[edit] well, i found how to do that with the set window on command, but that only increased it to 6 or 7 fps.

i checked my graphics card and its fine. it has direct3d acceleration and everything, i should upgrade though, it only has 8mb memory with it. but its only slow when i try to create my own programs, if i run others that other people have made in darkbasic that are in .exe format they run perfectly. any insight?

In the editor, select either a display setting of FULL SCREEN or Windowed Desktop - this is in the settings tab. Then compile.
