I'm still having some difficulties though (such as calls to allegro_message() do not work at all {they say that it's an implicit declaration of the function, etc.} and set_gfx_mode(gfx_safe) says that gfx_safe was undeclared and 1st used in the main function). However, the main problem I'm having is this: when compiling (then running) various other allegro programs found on the net, I am getting fatal .vxd errors that I don't understand. It says fatal exception in OE... numbers and that it was in the vxd. Why would allegro do this, and most importantly, how can I prevent this from happening? Whenever it happens, my computer completely freezes. It's not my computer's fault either (something with allegro or all 8 of the programs that I've downloaded)... I have a 1GHZ AMD Athlon w/ 128 mb memory and a 16MB Nvidia TNT2 Graphics card... incompatible with allegro or something? I have had one program that works that used allegro, and it was precompiled. Has anyone else experienced this before, and if so then am I just a complete idiot who's doing something incredibly wrong, or what's happening? Thanks for your time and help (ahead of time).
