Programs don't run.

[Ond]

I recently installed GLBasic DEMO and tried to write something for me to display.
Code:
SETSCREEN 600,400,0

PRINT "Hello World", 10, 10
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END

and when i hit the F5 button for it to run, it doesn't load...and i get:
_______________________________________

I run Windows Vista on a laptop.

You need to start a new project, not a new file.

This might seem a little confusing at first, but it makes sense - you can have multiple files all in one project. The project file will be a ?.gbap, and the files themselves will be ?.gbas

Hopefully that makes sense.

Also, you may find my tutorials useful on my website.

I start a new project...i also changed the folder of the projects.

and still can't run.

Try the hello world example project?  Does it run?

[Ond]

No it doesn't.

Seems the compiler can't open the file. Check so the file "TEST.gbas" realy exists where you saved the project. Also check so you have permissions in that folder and that the harddrive isn't full?
Can't think of anything else right now, weird error...

[Moru]

Oh, try to load one of the examples in the samples folder and see if they run.

[Ond]

Done all of them...nothing works..
just opens the black window says "Loading..." and closes.

[Kuron]

Since you are using Vista  are you sure you have your permissions set properly for your folder you are creating the EXE in?

[Ond]

Guyz problem solved...i changed Hard Disk and it works perfectly...for some reason the precompiler doesn't work on the hard disk Windows Vista are installed.

Thanks for your help anyway

[Moru]

I was guessing that, permissions :-) Change to XP :-P

[Kuron]

Change to XP :-P

Cures ALL Vista issues

but.... you did open the samples in your "homepath", that is the path you chose when you started the program first time. Not the ones in C:\program Files\GLBasic\Samples, did you?
