tried that but i cannot for the life of me understand why it wont work. i have got the following events set up:
Start of frame
+Set file to Appdrive$ + Appdir$ + "config.ini"
+Set Group to firstrun
Timer = 00'01
+Set Hidden Counter to ItemValue runnumber
Timer = 00'02 and Counter <> 0
+Jump to Frame 3
Timer = 00'02 and counter = 0
+Jump to Frame 2
End of frame
+Set ItemValue (runnumber) to current ItemValue (runnumber)+1
Can anyone see any problems with this?
I have tried to move the timer conditions but nothing at all happens

No idea. That should work. I can make an example later, if everything else fails. MMF2, MMF or TGF?
Bibin: That seems kind of overkill. If people really want to change it, then why bother stopping them?

MMF. It just keeps jumping to frame 2. The reason i want this is that i have a setup screen but i dont want the damn thing displayed everytime you run the app.
Frame1=Loader with code above
Frame2=Setup Screen
Frame3=Main Menu

I got this once, too. Just make the timer gap bigger (00'10 and 00'20).

Try replacing the counter code by 'on certain keypresses' events. Then, open and check the INI a few times, each step. Does it do something wrong?

Err, I've had problems with INI's only working in a compiled project (Stand Alone). You try that?
Craps, I'm an old man!

Try using Array Object instead?
You do a simple event in the LOADER to do this:
Start of Frame
... Load Array file
Start of Frame
+ value at 0 (x dimension) = 0
... Jump to SETUP frame
Start of Frame
+ value at 0 (x dimension) > 0
... Jump to MAIN frame
Then in the SETUP frame, do this:
Start of Frame
... Set 0 (x dimension) to 1
... Save Array File
This works for me.
