Do you have a 3D graphic card that doesn't use software rendering?
Do you have directX 7 or higher?

it also might be that you have an older graphics driver, try updating it(if you dont have that latest version )

Yknow, I got this error too I think. I solved it by specifying an editor to all the file formats (media > specify an editor). It didn't even matter which exe it was.

But then again, that was my old pc, they're supposed to do weird.

Are you using an ATI Rage 3D Pro card? For some reason, they just don't do DarkBASIC Classic. I had one, and a few others who got the same error as you on the forums have had them too. No go.

(To find out your system specs, click Start, click Run. Type 'dxdiag' (without the apostrophes (')), and then click OK. If it asks you to check if your drivers are WHQL-certified tell it to shove it.)
