I'm working on a strategy game, and on my dad's computer, it works fine. However, it will not work on any other computer I've used.

All coding seems to work when I use my dad's computer, however, even something as simple as having the cursor change to a sprite will not work on any other computer.

If you want to help, please send me a message with your email, and I will send the game to you. I've had it looked over by other people, and none can figure out why it doesn't work.

Post a list of what kind/specs of computers you tried the game on, and what specific error messages (if any) you got. This might help with diagnosing the issue.

Custom gaming rig

No error messages were given, it simply wouldn't work.

I have never had problems with Game Maker on my old laptop, which had 1024 MHz and 1 GB ram.

The PCs I have seen GM NOT WORK on are the ones that uses a prosavage video card, mostly crappy HP laptops from 2001.

The school computers are Dells, and I'm guessing that the graphics cards are crap. But, the laptop should work.
