sounds like you have a bad install of Windows. The only solution is a format of C, I'm afraid...

What version of Turing are you using, and how are you compiling your program? |

I've gotten that problme before as well. Althought I don't know what's causing it, I can tell you how to get past that. You need to download an earlier version, lets say 4.0.3. It only happens with the new version of turing- 4.1.1. |

Yes, 4.1.1 has a bug with stand-alone executable. You can get an an earlier version of Turing from http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/ |

4.1.1 does not properly put together the "standalone executable". Everything works fine as long as it runs from source, but you can't put together a single-file.exe I don't think there's anything in 4.1.1 that 4.1 can't do. |

No, it really is the version of Turing... They messed up on that one. |

Yeah 2ring, SNIPERDUDE is right. Don't reinstall Windows, just download Turing 4.0.5. |

There really should be a sticky with this information since it's such a common problem... Oh wait lolFAQ ^^ Though I still laugh every time someone has this problem. Go Holtsoft XD |

Holtsoft probably would have fixed it had they not gone out of business :p Tho they have had compiling to exe problems in other versions of turing in the past. Turing relay should have been an interpreted language any way. |

I don't think there's anything in 4.1.1 that 4.1 can't do. Thank you!!! I have an RPG that I really wanted to post but couldn't because 4.1.1 cannot create an executable. 4.1 is perfect: all the special graphics features I used from 4.1.1 are working nicely in this older version (I was worried for a moment because they didn't work in 4.0.5 or 4.1.1a...). Anyway, thanks!  |

Turing has a LOT of bugs in it. The best version to work with is 4.1 becuase it has the most recent features, except can still make standalone versions. I've had my Turing crash so many times though if you double click a new window with a little bit of text in it it crashes, once I undid some stuff, then redid it using the crtl+y thing and it crashed. It makes me laugh sometimes because I guess holtsoft didn't really talk to people that used it, and it almost seems like they released 4.1.1 without even testing it (I wouldn't doubt it) |

HoltSoft was, in fairness, not so much an actual software company as a bunch of graduate students working occasionally. |
