Hm.. it seems to me you think rhide is good. I think I should keep it then.

Yea I've noticed that, and its pretty annoying too but that's not too big of a
concern. Just gotta remember to delete them

About allegro, what do you mean you have to compile it first? Do you mean I have
to download the allegro's source code and compile it manually?
Also, can you please show me the code you have in the batch files to get rid of
these problems? eg video and mouse problems.

I keep trying to fix the problems myself but its really frustrating. There are a
lot of errors I dont know what they mean.  Sometimes it compiles the program, it
says there are no errors then it says it cannot link allegro. It says something
like this -1alleg
I checked the options/libraries and it has this for the first line:
alleg  (and it is checked).

should it be "alleg" ? or maybe 'alleg' ? or is it fine?

Thanks for your help,
Paul M.
