cannot compile

[retsyo]

I have downloaded ab and decompress it with winrar. I open the samples' project, but no matter I press F2, F4 or F7, the screen flashes and nothing comes to the screen, and there is no EXE file.
I also have tried BasicCompiler.exe to open the project file, but no EXE file is compiled too.
What is wrong?
ps, Is there a English verison of ab?
sorry, I cannot understand Japanese well.
thanx

I am one Japanese user using Activebasic.

A samples' project is already compiled. There is a compiled EXE file in Samples folders.
Project file can edit by Project Editor.exe and compile a project file with a F7 key. F2 Key is Debug.

AcitveBasic is Japanese only. But, It is a plan corresponding to an English version in the future.
It will be difficult to use ActiveBasic in the present situation.

Sorry for bad English.

You can consult the following URL and try changing your system codepage to Shift-JIS (Japanese).
