What's wrong with 98? Works fine for me.

Well for a start I've never been able to edit an 'autoexec.bat' file in WinXP.. i'm not even sure if one exists. You do it in a different way in XP.

Have you read the scripting tutorial by Kyouryuu?

I believe I have. From what I've gathered from my dad in XP Microsoft got rid of any DOS that was left and stuck in a crappy command prompt thingy instead. That's why the instructions for XP are different.

I was actually talking to BlackHole

Sorry...

Its okay I wonder if Blackhole has even come back..

...zzzzzz *snort* huh wha-? oh hi! Sorry, but i've got stuff going on in real life, so its been slow posting-wise.... In any case, i am MUCH more computer literate than normal people, and in fact, there IS an autoexec.bat, its just..... REALLY hard to find. Instructions? please? oh, and yes i did read the scripting tutorial, the problem being that it just tells you to install the thing, not how. So, i tried to follow the instructions, even running that .bat file, but to no avail. I have a sinking feeling that that environmental variable might not exist in XP........ in which case i'm screwed and i might give up D3 altogether.

There's XP install instructions lower down in the .txt that the compiler comes with, IIRC.

You dont remeber correctly, as there is no such thing.

There was when I installed it... Because those instructions are what I installed it from.

I would guide you over MSN if you had an address I could add to my contact list. If you want me to do that, and you do have an address, add me.

k, i added u
