When I press debug and the window appears the window remains black and in the "3d objects" tutorial the "Please wait loading model..." shows and nothing happens. I cant start my game project without objects!!I never had the same problem before with my old windows xp computer but when i got a new computer with vista , it appeared.
Sorry for my bad english

O.K, not much to go on lol.

Is your game playing but without loaded models?
Is your screen just blank?
Have you tried creating some primitive shapes, if so, can you see them?
Are you sure the models are in your project folder?
Are you sure you have the names of any folders or sub-folders correct?
Are you just running the colX tutorial as it is?

all the code before dbloadobject works fine. All code after it doesnt. In the tut the text loads and the screen remains black. I run the col-x tutorial from the tutorials folder and still the problem stays so the problem is not in the code.

I have seen a few issues were models take alot of time to load.
Try running your program, go and have a cup of tea then come back to see if it has loaded.

ColX takes about 5 seconds to load on my desktop but about 45 seconds on my laptop.

Check the media is where the program is looking for it

In the code, if the load function is called like so :

dbLoadObject("col-x.x", 1);

and there were no "dbSetDir" or "dbCD" commands before it, then the file col-x.x would need to be in the project root folder(if you run it from inside visual studio) or in the same folder as the EXE if you run it from outside visual studio...

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

It didn't work. I waited 15 minutes and still no progress.
I ran the "3D Objects.vcproj" in the "C:/Program Files/The Game Creators/Dark GDK/Tutorials/3D Objects/3D Objects"
and still the same problem.
I tried placing dbPrint() between every line and found out that the whole code does run but still it doesn't load the objects. The screen just remains black but the dbPrint() works.

Same problem, tutorials compile in either debug or release mode but
only display text or empty console-(running on Vista, USA, Admin mode).

The problem apparently must have something to do with vista.
