I think you need to upgrade your VGA card..
1 question my driver was updated by windows 7.. it's good, or i must use from company\facture?Quote:

i just looked at game maker's system requirements. evidently it uses an older version of directx (8.1) This could be the problem as windows 7 does not include the dx8 runtimes. You will need to get the directx8 web installer and run that if you haven't already. In addition to that, there was a note saying user account control can stop the developer environment from running and has to be disabled. I hope one of these two notes helps.
by version reasons: can i install DX8, if i'm using a new version?Quote:

so why the lower games are in memory(on processes) and i can't see them?:(
i dont know but from what i read 8 creates .exes and the older ones you have to have an older game maker installed
even game maker 6 do the same problem. maybe it's windows 7 compatibles things:(Quote:
