Are you on Vista? If I remember correctly Turing doesn't work on Vista.

Incorrect, I'm on a Visbuntu laptop, and I can run turing in Premium x86. Maybe your in x64 Vista?

Are you extracting all of the files in the .zip or just the turing.exe?

my computer is winXP but my theme is vista, and i extracted everything from the .zip, it's all in a folder called turing 4.1.1 with support and example inside

tried again and this time with process watcher open, it seems like it auto close when it launch, it did appear in the process watcher for like a sec >.<,also viewed the folder propertie and "readonly" is ticked.

o.O 4.0.5 works... is there different between 4.0.5 and 4.1.1?

sigh... problem solved.. i just draged it into my d drive and it work O.O something wrong with my desktop i guess..
