Original Issue was header paths were stripped off fixed that... ive tried replacing the image file due to corruption/unable to read... ive changed the positions for the screen, resolution etc... also its saying there is no flag called SHOW so basically if i just leave OVERLAY and remove the show flag, it compiles without any errors but its complete bluescreen, if i leave the code as is it gives one error about no flag SHOW and then does the same thing...?? well im off to bed i hope someone can help shouldnt be this tough for a starting tutotial its only a few lines, setting up emulators and databases more work then this -,-
