Hello!
I just tried to runt he first tutorial but the window stays black when it should show the hello world picture for the first time.
One strange thing I noticed is that in the output window of Visual Studio 2008 it says among others:

Is this normal?
I get no errors whatsoever.

Any help appreciated.

Could we see the code? It could just be a simple error of not putting something in, like dbText or dbPrint

i've tried running the same thing but the black screen dosn't even come up, it just says

" Unable to start program 'c:\Users\justin\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Hello World\Debug\Hello World.exe'.

The system cannot find the file specified."

could this be because i saved Dark GDK in the "wrong" place? and it can't find it in the spot it's supposed to be? or i also thought maybe it dosn't work with Windows Vista? i've heard bad things about Vista and that's what i have so...

any help would be welcome

AHHH don't know what i'm doin!
