 		I just got BlitzMax, but most of the sample games don't even work on it. When i try to run the samples, most of the time a flickering or black screen comes up and nothing happens. Unless I have the "Debug Build" option turned off, some kind of graphics exception is thrown and prevents the program from running. Does anybody know what's going on?

 		I have never used BlitzMax or any other 'Blitz' product. But one guess could be your PC that your running it on, does it meet the required spec?

Did you contact the BlitzResearch company or post on their forums?

 		I just got it and don't experience your problem, does your computer have the updated version, and have a capable graphics card?
