Hi
I seem to be missing something,
I have downloaded and followed the corona basics to the letter - but when i have my simulator on -with my lua language & my notepad for writing script- nothing appears on the black screen not even (“Hullo World”).
It sounds like you have an error. It’s really helpful to provide us some basic information.
What operating system are you on? Windows or OS-X? What version of the OS?
How old is your computer?
What version of Corona SDK are you using?
There should be a terminal or command window that provides you text output from the simulator to alert you to errors, warning, and your print statements. A really helpful tutorial to make sure you’re getting this information is:

There are two main causes of a black screen: 1. you have an error in your code. 2. You’re running on a device that doesn’t support OpenGL 2.1. The 2nd problem can sometimes be solved by making sure you have the latest graphics drivers. Some computers are just too old and the video card makers may not be supporting old operating systems like Windows XP any longer. But without the basic info above, we can’t do much more than guess.

Hi Rob
Thank you for your quick response.
I believe the problem could be there is no link between my notepad and the corona simulator.
I am looking for what activate’s the lua.
I have downloaded java - but I am thinking my version is not correct.
jdk1.6.0_27
jdk1.6.0_41
jdk1.6.0_43
jre1.6.0_27
jre1.6.0_41
jre1.6.0_43
jre6,
The driver I have is :
SCSI\DiskWDC_WD3200KS-00PFB0_____21.0
I get a syntax error every time I try relaunch the simulator.
Thanks
Kelvin
What is that error?
