Hi! I just bought the DGS Bonanza and I was all psyched for this! =D

I really want to be able to use DBPro, but every time I try to compile something, it gives me the error "Could not create "C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark Basic Professional Online\Temp\dbp_program.exe".

I have an MSi E7235 laptop. Any help would be appreciated!

Let me guess... you are using Vista or Windows 7.

Those OS's introduced checks to stop programs fro writing to the Program Files directory. You can either:
1. Install DBPro somewhere outside of the Program Files directory.
2. Run the IDE as administrator.

I use option 1, but option 2 works just as well.
