I WAS working on something that could be summarized as an african God Of War, until I got into this small problem. I ran A6 on my Acer Aspire 5730z laptop and it worked just fine until I formatted my computer and reinstalled the OS. Now the 'build' button literally ignores me. I also downloaded A8 and it says (assuming my project is called 'game') Can't open game_a8.c Can't compile game_a8.c Error E3555 - Start up failure ab=ny key to abort This is the 3rd intel graphics card I've installed on my acer since I formatted it. None of them works with gamestudio. I don't know what I had before formatting that I don't have now. My direct X is 10. I started a thread on this about 2 weeks ago but have gotten no replies! http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=46503&Number=388075#Post388075
