I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work, but when I go to run the engine the window pops up and then imediatly disappears. I dont know what is going wrong. I want to make games and GS seems to be a good start so I would really like to get this problem fixed. Please help and thank you.

Do you mind telling us your edition and version?
(WED -> Help -> About WED)

sorry
Gamestudio Pro 7.06 / WED V6.8291

oh and the same thing is happening in MED when i goto preview my models
that version is V6.872

I, personally, have no clue why the engine should not run for you.
Did you try to start a script from the SED?
If yes: Did that work?

As you have the Professional edition you could also write to the support.

Please post your complete Acklog.txt for further Informations , maybe theres a
Note on your problem...

You can create a Acklog.txt, if you type "-diag" (without "") in the Run Window!

there's the txt file I hope that helps.

I'm experiencing this same problem, WED won't open. I've tried to open it via the SED/Tools/WED and by running it via the WED.exe in the program folder. Either way I get an hourglass for a split second but nothing happens.

As for the -diag switch, I can't run that with the wed.exe. I did run it with the acknex.exe and the log file showed basically the same as above.

I purchased Lite-C Full for an Xmas present and am just now trying to get it working properly. I emailed support but there was a generic response that I needed a support ticket which it nowwhere explains how to obtain. And that I could find the answer to most questions on the website/forum. I had searched here prior to emailing support but did not find the answer.

This posters problem is identical to mine which has gone unanswered since 12-4-07 which doesn't make me confident I'll get this working and will have to obtain a refund.

Please assist before this is necessary.

Thank you.

you don't get wed with lite-c full. wed only comes with gamestudio. there different.
