Hi, I installed DarkBASIC Classic on my windows 98 a long time ago and it works fine. Ever since I updated my comp to windows xp, DB programs crash my computer(or restarts it really). Can anybody help??

It may seems very very strange, but try to open your cd-roms drive before launching any DB application.

The sleeper must awaken !

Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120...

DB works on XP for almost everyone. You may have updated to XP without putting all of your drivers back on properly. Have you put your graphic card drivers on?

a common mistake when installing a new OS is to forget to install the MOBO drivers, the default winderz ones are rather..er..well...not very good, shall we say ?



Windows: 32 bit extension/graphical shell for a 16bit patch to an 8bit OS originally coded for a 4bit CPU, written by a 2bit company that can't stand 1bit of competition, now available in 64bits.

Ive had issues with this with other programs and it's XP's fault... only thing I have found to work is to reinstall windows or reformat (may be extreme) other than that anything that works with this annoying little bit is great news to me... ive tryed so many things its gotten silly
