As you can see by all of my threads I keep getting errors. I cant even use the demos. Its says can't compile the demo because it cant understand "start phy" or "wait 1000" whats wrong with that?

Can you post some code and the exact error messages you're getting?

Can you compile anything? For example does the hello world program below work for you?

+ Code Snippet

print "Hello World!"
wait key
end

As with the other guy with errors trying to run demos...

if you are using Windows 7, have you made sure you are running DB Pro as "administrator"? Are you sure you have at least Directx 9.0c or higher installed?

Hello world works,( using windows 7 ) although some of the demos such as the cloud write example[REM Project: CloudWrightExample

rem Use desktop resolution, vsync on
sync on : sync rate 0
desktopwidth=desktop width()
desktopheight=desktop height()
set display mode desktopwidth,desktopheight,32,1

rem Init app
color backdrop 0 : hide mouse : autocam off

rem Load sky
load object "cloudcube.x",1

rem Prepare sky object to remove shading and seams
set object light 1,0 : set object texture 1,2,0

rem Position camera to look into sky
xrotate camera -20

rem Main loop
do
`
rem User prompt
center text screen width()/2,20,"USE MOUSELOOK TO VIEW THE SKY"
`
rem Mouselook controls
rotate camera camera angle x()+mousemovey()/2.0,camera angle y()+mousemovex()/2.0,0
`
rem Update screen
sync
`
rem End loop
loop
]
says :
"Could not detirmine parameter of desktopwidth=desktop width()"
It just is giving me unreasonalbe answers.
