Game starts full screen but nothing but black and have to reboot as I'm unable to get back into Windows.  ATI 4890 Windows 7 64 bit w/ admin.  Purchased during pay what you want sale.  Tried setting compatibility to Windows XP SP3 but same result.

I don't have access to Windows 7 so am unable to test it on it; I haven't heard of it not working on Windows 7 before though.

It seems you have Direct3D 8, which I'm guessing means you also have DirectX 8. I believe game may require DirectX 9 or later, although I'm unsure about that too. Also, I would assume Windows 7 requires DirectX 10, so I may be wrong about associating Direct3D 8 with DirectX 8. But one I'd do would be to check which version of DirectX you have, and update it to 9 or later if it's at 8.

Also, is it a netbook? The game isn't intended to run on those, as they usually don't support a high enough resolution to run the game.

Hmm, okay, probably not a DirectX problem then.

Could you test out if other games made in Game Maker work for you? For instance, Alphasix or Fedora Spade:

http://studioeres.com/games/alphasix
http://studioeres.com/games/fedora

That'd help narrow down what the problem is by letting us know if it's a problem with all games made in that program, or just specifically Immortal Defense.

ID works (at least starts as I didn't play it yet) under Win764.  I narrowed the problem to Comodo Firewall.  After disabling "Defense + Security Level" the game started fine.  I believe what happened was that ID started and the Comodo popup wanted to ask me to validate various behaviors of ID.  For whatever reason I couldn't switch back to Comodo to validate your app.  I'm sure there is a programmatic solution (I should be able to switch to another app at any time)  but for now I'm fine with my solution.

As far as Alpha Six it worked no problem even with Comodo defense on however it does not recognize my Xbox 360 gamepad analogue sticks.  Fedora Spade also started fine.

Apologies for the delay in reply. Happy to see you got it working. It doesn't use the internet connection at all so it's weird that a firewall would stop it (but perhaps it just stops any programs that aren't recognized or something).

And thanks for letting me know about the controller issue -- I need to test Alphasix with the Xbox controller, I"ve tested it with a dual analog Logitech but not an Xbox one (since I didn't have one at the time, now I do).
