Did you open a level first? If you press start before you load a level, it will let you run around (but leaves artifacts) until it bugs out. If it loads a level, it should populate the game area with walls and "Poks" to collect.

Anyway, I thought I'd start to look at DirectX, which is much more suited for games. That's when I realized that even though the version of VB I was using, while more recent than the one I grew up using, is still 10 years old...which is probabaly leading to a lot of the compatibility problems.

So right now I'm dowloading C++ Express (the free version), and I have the DX SDK, so I'll have some heavy learning ahead of me. I've dabbled in C before, but not extensively... so it may be a while before I update y'all with a more diversly compatable product.
