    • Okay, I'm a complete newbie to Game maker(just picked it up today, actually) so bear with me if this is a stupid question.

    I tried testing a game (one of the examples that comes with it) from the game maker program using the test button, it saves it as an exe. then displays this message:



    It does this when I try to open the exe. game file as well.

    Any help appreciated.

    • It's not a stupid question. I'll try to help. I've seen 2 instances of this problem occur before.

    1. When I had a file that, for some reason game maker didn't like, and It was a tileset that I later broke apart into a different file and it worked.

    2. When I first got gamemaker some of my games did that as well, I just uninstalled and re-installed it and it worked right. Hopefully you don't have the registered version yet and this won't be a pain.

    Those could be the problem, but judging from that picture, it seems that Microsoft is having a problem with the .exe files. I'd say your best bet is to re-install Gamemaker. Does this happen when you you try to test one of your own games made in Gamemaker?

    • Ah, nevermind. It seems Game Maker doesn't like my graphics card (savage IX with a whopping 8megs...).
    Thanks for the response, all the same. :)
