* KnacK blames y00tz on making it a sticky....


Oh, it was a sticky as the first psot in this thread was stripped from the stickied thread so it carried over.

Give us more information - there is no way we can help you (KnacK can't read minds yet) if you don't tell what exactly happens.

The black box that pops up when you use one the compilers.  Take a screen shot of that box by pushing the print screen key.  This key is near to the scroll lock key.  Now that you have a screen shot, open up mspaint, go to the edit menu and then click paste.  Save the screen shot to your computer as a .jpeg file.  Upload the screen shot in your next reply by clicking the additional options button below the place where you type.  Click browse and fine your screen shot that you created.  Click the post button to finish the process.

Search "TESTING IN GAME ERRORS" in my guide.  I believe that is your problem.
