Hi SuperKu,
Thanks for your fast response.

The Version (as displayed in WED) is really:
Gamestudio Free 7.84 /WED V6.944
It was downloaded 6/2/2010

The 7.36 came from the Help > About on the initial window that opens when the program starts (SED):
SED Version 7.36.0

As mentioned I'm just a beginner.

We are not ready to give up on Game Programming.
However, we are searching for a suitable game developement platform. Any program that gives error message(s) on the initial use gives cause for concern.

If the error can be resolved, with the forum's help, that will indicate two important things:
1. That the program is basically sound.
2. The Forum is responsive.

I am heartened to have received a quick response. Thanks!

BTW: The Computer and OS info is:
Toshiba Laptop: Satellite L305D
CPU: AMD Sempron SI-42 2.1GHz
3.00 GB Ram
Windows 7 Home Premium
ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics

Thanks in advance for you help.
