Hey i would love to learn how to do some of this junk, has a few good ideas im still hanging on to...slight problem though, and im sorry if this is the wrong section or...?
i brought a 55$ book "3D game programaming all in one "and i cant install the apps that are on the CD...?
the thing says to insert the CD and follow on screen instructions...none came up, so i ignoredit.later it told me to install a app for learning to program or whatever...it wont install - double click, nutin happens, try again and it loads, goes away and a box pops up tellin me that an instance of the installer is already running..........?
i woulda really like to get started with this book but it is prolly hard to do so if i cant install the apps im working with...its prolly a demo or sharewhere on the disc for like ULTRAEDIT-32 is the thing that wont install...so should i like jsut go to the site and DL it...google for it? (just now even though about this)
sry to leave here, bit tired...ill try to check back in the morning, thanks in advance

As for your problem, I dont' believe that version of UltraEdit that comes on the disc will install on XP, just search for Ultra Edit on your favorite search engine. However, I started with that same book, and am actually using Torsion, from this website, they both cost about the same and have a trial version, but Torsion is made for Torque, and I think it's a much better editor.

Tim, there actually is a forum section for that book.As for your problem, I dont' believe that version of UltraEdit that comes on the disc will install on XP, just search for Ultra Edit on your favorite search engine.
