What?!

Posted by MrNitro on Nov. 10, 2007, 4:19 p.m.

Hello everybody!!! I need some help. I recently bought a new computer and the first thing I did was install GM. Every thing was going fine for a few weeks. I could open and play other people's games as well as my own, like normal. But now I can't do anything with Game Maker except for open and edit my games. That's it ,though. Nothing at all will run. When press try to run any games I get this:

I'm stumped. I've even tried to e-mail YoYo Games but it takes them 1,000 years to respond. So I gave up on that.

Is this really bad? Or can this be easily solved and I'm just too stupid to know what to do? Anyway, if anyone knows what to do, please help.

Oh yeah! Has anyone played BioShock yet? That game is amazing!

Edit, November 12: Thanks for everyone's help! I fixed the problem.

You are using Vista - only GM7 is Vista-Compatible.

I am using GM7. But what I don't get is that it was working not too long ago.

Wow, I thought that error was on my computer. Well, like DF said…

Vista…GM7- = No worky

Vista…GM7 = Worky =D

If you're using GM7, I haven't seen something like that before. Have you tried reinstalling?

Does Game Maker have admin privs on your pc? I have heard that can have some effect on GM on Vista, but I don't know if it would help you.

Yeah, actually. I've tried reinstalling it several times and there are no admin privs that I'm aware of.

Ehh…right-click > Run as Administrator

Wouldn't help in this case. It already runs the program. Besides, I don't need to do that. Never have.

Well I know that game. It supposed to be FPS with RPG elements. I like System Shock 2 more. Even if the graphics there are not so great as in Bio shock.
