Additional steps have to be taken in order to get Flamebird to work on Windows Vista, involving copying the file "MSVBVM50.DLL" from the "WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\" directory of a windows XP machine into the same directory as the flamebird EXE file ("FB2.exe" or "FBMX.exe") (''More information and explanation needed'')

		+
		+	=== Commandline ===
		+	Using the commandline is not recommended, but still possible. Copy the needed files (fxc.exe, fxi.exe and their DLLs) to a new directory, "mygamedir" for example. Make a new file, "mygame.prg" for example and open it with a text editor, say Notepad. Here you can code what you want; save the code when you're done. Now go to this directory with the commandline and compile "mygame.prg":
		+
		+	<code>fxc mygame.prg</code>
		+
		+	Now "stdout.txt" will contain information about the compiling, including possible errors. When there are no errors, "mygame.dcb" will be created, which is a bytecode version of your code. To run this code, type:
		+
		+	<code>fxi mygame.dcb</code>
		+
		+	That's it.
