Ok im quite new to c/d/c++ type programming but im wanting to begin learning D as my second language. And how, i downloaded the DIDE and started up a simple hello world program. the following is the source code:

import std.c.stdio;


int main( char [] [] args ) {


printf("Hello lewis !");
return 1;
}

when i compile and run this i get the following error as shown in this

im on windows XP, with a p3 450 using 512 mb pc1000 ram

could someone explain what this error means?
Thanks
Lewis

Don't know why, the code is perfectly valid and compiles and executes without any problems (WinXPPro). The problem apparently exists in your DIDE configuration rather than the program.

Cheers,
Andrew

Interestingly, your gif says something about the 16 bit MS-DOS subsystem. Since D only generates 32 bit windows code, something is very strange about the executable you built. (The source code is fine and should work fine.)
