I am using Dark edit which is a great DB Tool. Now I can't get my programs to execute In Dark Edit. When I try a message [Can't create Temporary Filename is Displayed and the program stops. How can I solve this Problem?

before you can run a program in darkedit you have to save it first. even if it's only 1 line long.

Try what gpex said, if that doensn't work, make sure you're not saving to a read only folder.

Flubber,

No, it is not true that you have to save your work before executing it. I myself, always run simple experiments for quick referance without saving my work. However, it is a good practice to always save a new project first before writing any code.

Have you executed programs from DarkEdit before, and they executed fine?

What NanoBrain said.



Also, check out your DB settings ::
====================

1. Start DarkEDIT.
2. Click Edit, followed by 'Edit Options' (the bottom one) on the menu that appears.
3. In the 'Options' dialog, hit the 'DarkBASIC Options' tab.
4. a) MAKE SURE that your 'DarkBASIC Program' field is set to c:\program files\dark basic software\dark basic\db.exe (or wherever you installed DB.)
4. b) Make sure the 'Command Line:' column has the default options in it - i.e., -c for compile, -x for execute, -b for make exe and -f for Build Final.
5. Hit OK, and try again...

If that doesn't work, make sure that your currently installed DarkBASIC compiler isn't s**ted.

Also, why the hell is DarkEDIT so freakin' messy?! ~DB and TMP files all over the place...

Flubber,

Go to http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=contact_orders for technical support. The settings above work fine on my machine, and I am also using XP, however without a Direct3D card.

I had that problem, and countless others..
That error (i would've thought) is actually specific to the set of ATI Rage 3D/Pro cards. Do you have one of these?
