Code:

---

#include <default.c>
#include <acknex.h> 

var panAtStart = 0;

function main()
{
	level_load("level.wmb");
	video_set(1440, 900, 32, 1); //Video Settings	
	wait(1);

	if(panAtStart == 0) 
	{
        wait(1);
	}
}

---

I have no Problems with this...

Have you included default.c and acknex.h?
Or perhaps you have forgotten a semicolon at the upper line!?!?

When not: can you post a bigger part of the code?
