The first thing that comes to mind is an incorrect resolution setting. Your desktop resolution must be set to 1024x768x16-bit color.
Did you install the editor to the default location? Changing this can also cause problems.

I think I have the desktop resolution at 1024x768x16 bit but it might be on 32 bit. I have no clue how to change the 32 bit to 16 bit. But I changed the resolution by going to diplay properties in display in control panel. I think that part was done right, if not please tell me how to change the resolution correctly. Also I need to know how do you install the editor to the default function. I also think I got this right as well. I left it to install in core design like it said. Still though I get the illegal opperation note. However sometimesI get a pop-up that says direct X not installed properly but I don't know what could have gone wrong? PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

It sounds like you got the editor installed ok so lets double check your resolution setting. Go back to the display properties>settings page and find a box named Colors. In the text box it should say "High Color (16-bit)". If it doesn't, use the arrow button and change it.

If that doesn't fix the problem I suggest you go to the Microsoft web page and get the latest version of DirectX 8.

You also want to make sure you are operating with the latest video card drivers. These are downloadable from the web as well.
