I can't run WinMaped. It would be nice if I could, but everytime I try, I get the program trying to reference memory slot 0x0000000. . . not a good thing, last time I checked. What's the problem here?

. . . does anyone have or know where I can get my hands on a good Python tutorial? One written for people who already know a little programming, so they just give me the syntax for control structures and I don't have to read through the same "This is what a loop is" stuff?

www.python.org has some excellent tutorials.
Additionally, you can nag us at #vchelp with your questions. irc.esper.net, default port.

What OS are you running? I'm aware that it does not run in winXP for some reason or other, but I can't pinpoint it myself, as I don't run (and don't plan on running) winXP.
If anybody has both winXP and MS Visual C++, you might want to try helping me out. ^_^ You can get the source code on my site.

I'm not sure what the problem is. WinMapEd initially used DirectDraw, but now it just uses Windows' GDI. There isn't much there for the hardware to have a problem with.
I presume it crashes immediately? Before you even see the initial window?

Yup. No real rhyme or reason to it. I double-click the icon, and I get the dialog box. That's it.

. . . when I try to run v27.exe, it tells me that it was "unable to load graphics dll." I tried copying them to the win directory and the win system directory, but it still doesn't work. Why? I hate being a newbie.

What does the path on the graphdriver line of your user.cfg file say?

Ummm. . .I don't have a graphdriver line. Should I add one? Doesn't it have some sort of default, though? I dunno.

I'm not sure about the default. Even if it has one, it might not be the correct directory.
Just to try something, add a line to user.cfg that goes something like:
graphdriver [path]\gfx_soft16.dll
where path is the directory the dll file is in. You could also try using gfx_soft.dll, just as long as the file is actually in the directory you specify.
Might help, might not. But it can't hurt to try.

Pardon my random symbols.
I figured out what was wrong when I was trying to run V27.exe and fixed it. The only problem is that now when I run it, I get the same error that I do when I try to run winmaped (referenced 0x000000), and so I'm doubly screwed. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? I know that I've asked this before, but right now I'm thinking of changing from V2.7 to V2.6 because IT'S MORE STABLE! Isn't that the scariest thing you've ever heard?
