Instant error on startup

[Kiwibear]

When I go to start up BSF, I get this error;

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Other Event: Game Start
for object GUI_MainTitle:

Error defining an external function.

I tried both the .zip and the installer versions, and I still got that error.
Running on vista 64bit by the way.

Re-install usually fixes. Make sure everything is in the BSF folder. Sometimes stuff gets put in the wrong place for no apparent reason.

Same problem for me.

I am running Windows 7, I tried different compatibility modes and both downloads.

Ok so I disabled all audio on the configuration file and it looks like it works fine.

I have HD Audio- looks like this game either doesn't support my chipset or my drivers. Please fix this guys.

edit:
sound effects work
changing the music volume gives error (default setting at 40 and only works on 0 so far):

[Wakerz]

have you tried reinstalling BSF? that tends to fix stuff.

Try this - whenever I have a problem with a program running on Win7 - install in another folder other than the Program Files (x86), so for instance install it in C:\Games\Battleships Forever

I wouldn't post without doing that first.

yes I tried that, more than once.

I don't have a program on my computer that recognizes the OGG music files. Might have something to do with it, lol
