Hello. I've just started working with DBP again after a long break and am running into an interesting problem. Once I create enough code to begin testing anything and press F5 to compile / run, I get a (evidently) complete compilation with the status window stating that it's "executing <name of program>." However, nothing actually happens. I'll manually go to the folder where the project is stored and try to run the exe directly but then I get another error, "The parameter is incorrect."

I'd appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this for me

You need to update your DBP.

Windows 7 sp1 introduced some extra security which stops DPB applications/games from running.

Just thought I would finally mention, since it would appear no one else has figured this out. I have been running DBPro U7.4 on windows 7 SP1 with no problem.
