That should compile and run. Just tried it on mine. Are you all set up correctly? i.e. directx9.0c installed? Get the latest patch installed too.

Make sure you havent got it all ready running somewhere?

If you have a complied .exe running and try to compile a second because you cant see it (windowed mode for instance).

What error is coming up on the bottom of the screen and what line of code is highlighted when it fails?

Oh and on another note it might be worth saving and restarting your pc once in a while especially if your trying out different peoples code. i tend to find I need to reset this hunk a junk once very couple of hours.

It might even be you need t restart after your initial instalation to get all the files and connections working together properly.

When i push the button, the "building executable"-Window appears for a second, but the disappears quickly with out making progress. no line is highlighted and there's no error on the bottom. it just does nothing. i'll try out restarting my pc tomorrow. how can i find out, if i have it already running somewhere? where can i find "the latest patch" and what do you mean with it. directx or darkBasic. if you meant darkBasic, where can i find the patches?
Greeting,
Peter

If you are using Windows 7 then you still may need to install the upgrades to U77 which are available on these forums. As far as I know the latest upgrades fixes Windows 7 issues and many others too.

sry
If I try to compile my project, the "Activation"-Window appears.

here you can see how it should be: the "Next"-Button is disabled and there's finish button. When I try to activate my product, the "Next"-Button is enabled and there's only a "Close"-Button.

System: Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 Ghz
4096 MB Ram
DirectX 11
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series

I can not see your linked picture but from my email it just linked to a TCG store page with a function error...

anyway, have you set up your windows 7 x64 environment properly? you need to disable UAC or run DBPro as admin... I prefer disabling UAC though it makes things easier... BUT HAVE GOOD MEASURES IN PLACE and only a good idea for experienced PC users... like... 15+ years of EXP

Hmm. That is strange... Something I don't have to worry about cos I'm still on XP. Everything should be up an running in my opinion. Try reporting it in the BUG REPORTS...
