so you selected "build final"? if it is different in pro im sry, im dbc user. also, did you put all the media in the same file folder?

I know what you mean when you say you dont want your media accessable. check out the demo Bolt's Firewall http://www.boltsoftwaregames.com. He doesnt hide any of his files. Brave man.

You probably have the media in a subfolder of where your EXE is. The compiler doesn't include paths for included media, all the included media acts as if it were in the same folder as the EXE. To attach a flder to the EXE, you have to pack it ('write directory') and attach the packed file. Then have your EXE unpack it: 'read directory'.

Hope this helps ,

Are you sure you have listed all of the media you want to include in the media tab? It may just be a single file that is missing.

sorry about my long abscence...anyway, i tried to compress the media, but when i clicked on the exe...it just sat at the bottom menu on the screen and it never actually started up.

and no all my media is in its correct place...if i dont attach media...the exe works fine.

all the media was there...nothing is missing.
