HELP it wont let me test my game!

[jakal]

As the title says i cant play my game or just maybe i doing it wrong. So when i open zelda - w.exe it loads for a second or two and after that nothing happens. I've tried opening it via zlaunch - w.exe but that didn't work either. So how do i fix this?
Thanks,
Jakal

jakal The more info you can give the better.

* What version of ZC are you using?

* What OS(Windows, Mac, etc) are you using?

* What does allegro.log say?

[Gleeok]

If you are on windows 7 you can "run as administrator". Also make sure that the directory ZC is in is not write protected, and you can open the "allegro.log" as a text file. If you still are having problems paste the last 10-20 lines of that here.

(I'm guessing you are running ZC version 2.10?)
