This problem is fixed, it was just a little problem with the .exe it was creating.

When I try to compile my code, I get this compile error:

M:\Programming\SandmansDream\Makefile.win [Build Error] [SandmansDream.exe] Error 1

Here is my main code file:

If you know what is wrong (or want the other files) please post.

Try installing the timer:

install_timer();

The manual under show_mouse() says:

The Manual said:

This will only work if the timer module has been installed.

The manual also says under install_timer()

The Manual said:

You must do this before installing any user timer routines, and also before displaying a mouse pointer, playing FLI animations or MIDI music, and using any of the GUI routines.

And also you can do this:
#include <allegro.h>
instead of:
#include "allegro.h"

I hope that fixes it.

I like signatures that only the signer would understand. Inside jokes are always the best, because they exclude everyone else.

Thanks, but I'm afraid it didn't work. :'(

I tried what you said, but I still get the same compile errors.

EDIT: Hmm... there were some files in the project folder that I lost permissions to... tried to fix, couldn't, so I renamed them. Now it works!
