my DB pro application compiles alright but when I run the exe, nothing happens.

My hardware is NVidia GF2 MX graphics card, AMD Duron 800MHz, 256 MB PC133 SDRAM, Windows 2000, DirectX 9.0a, Western Digital IDE dive over 30 GB free space. My debugger runs fine

Lol, you're gonna have to give us a bit more info, how about a code snippet?

Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man?
Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of samishi?

what version of DBP are you running?
I think from memory with win2k that u needed to add a cls way at the start or else it wouldnt behave correctly with the sync and that was for DBC.

also make sure all the media you use are in the same folder as the exe...

Thanks guys for your tips.
Question refers to DBPro 1

To clarify the situation, when I run a simple code like
print "Action"
wait key

the compiler compiles correctly, the screen goes black and the word "Action" is written on my screen. As you can see this is a text message. So far so good!

When I try a graphic code like:
make object cube 1,100
do
yrotate object 1,object angle y(1)+0.1
loop

this program is supposed to create a cube and the cube is supposed to rotate
however, when I run the code, it appears to compile alright, but the compiled application does not run when executed. The program just does nothing. Could it be that DBPro 1 needs directx 8.0 specifically to run graphics applications??? I have directx9.0a installed on my system.
