i'm either doing something wrong or it's not working right, after downloadig the updates for blitz basic i install them "as u do" the 2d update works fine i have no probs with this, but it's when i install the 3d updates what ever u type in it does not load so when testing print "....." a screen jumps up and goes within a second, i'v re-installed the program nad it works fine without the 3d updates any ideas?

There are 3 products. Blitz2D,Blitz3D and BlitzPlus. Only install the updates to the products you own. If you only purchased Blitz3D you must only install Blitz3D Updates...

print ".....", a screen jumps up and goes within a second

I hope you used waitkey() or something similar after you used the print command..
If you didnt, there shouldnt be anything wrong about the update stuff only the code

Edit*

it works fine without the 3d updates

ok nevermind...

ehhhh.....

So you have both BlitzBasic and Blitz3D???

You've updated BlitzBasic fine

But Blitz3D is not updating correctly

Is this right???

in the update area there is 2 different types a 2d update and a few 3d updates, after the 2d update is installed the blitz program is fine but after the 3d update is in anything u try to wright no longer runs

surely you only need to install the latest update.
Also, what exactly is the test program you are trying?

if it's just:

Print "test"

then that will show a black screen for the briefest of moments and then end the program

try:

print "test"

Waitkey()
end

Maybe installing the 2d updates, broke blitz3d.

Only install 3d updates :)

I dont have acces to the 2D updates anymore ( i have Blitz3D ), i had before but it works fine :) i think Ross is right.

I'm missing something here.

There ARE NO 2D UPDATES. Blitz3D has one update scheme only. You don't update 2D and then 3D functionality.

Go to "account" and choose the link for Blitz3D version 1.86 and run it. That's it. All she wrote.

Though I'm guessing you might want to re-install Blitz3D first if you have run the 2D update on it!
