I installed dbpro on my machine and for a few weeks it worked perfectly. Until one day i tried to run it(xp) and i got the Send error report thingy and dbpro would not run. Even with the Cd in its drive. So i goes to uninstall it and i get another error message then. Next i delete the program directory and then the disc allows me to install dbpro again and i can use it fine BUT i then tried to apply patch 4 to it and it came up with an unknown compiler error and now i cant even compile my programs. Is anybody else having this problem. Please read and see if anybody can help me because i am working very hard on Eternal Destiny and i need to be using Dbpro at full functionality

Uninstall DBPro completly, remove everything in any and all temporary directories, do a full file scan and defrag, and try installing again, making sure DBPro isn't in use when you upgrade.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

If it was working, and the suddenly stopped, then I suggest you do what I originally suggested + a virus scan.

Try http://www.grisoft.com

Download the free AVG version. It is free for home use and allows unlimited virus definition updates online!

It also scans incoming email, files within zip files, e.t.c.

I find it better than anything by Norton, Mcafee e.t.c.
