  Did it crash while you were saving it? You should always create backups before & after any major changes, or in general after x amount of time has passed, just to make sure you are safe.
  
  Just out of interest is there a .bak file in the same folder your .ved file is located? If so, then you can remove the .bak extension to turn it into a .ved file. .bak files are auto-generated backup files. I don't know how often they are created mind, so you may still have to redo some of your .ved.

  whoa! thank you, now i know something new..
  unfortunately i delete all bak and ved file (i'm in the early stage so not a problem).
  But when i create a new file in the same folder, and try to execute the game, it gives me the same problem. may i change folder?

  Did it run before?
  
  Quick note: certain requirements need to be met to actually launch a game.
  

  
  
  1. playable character
     
  2. command interface (linked to playable character)
     
  3. font (at least 1)
     
  4. mouse cursors (at least 1)
     

  
  ... I think that about covers it. If the bare minimum requirements aren't met, then it usually returns an error.
  
  Creating a new file in the same folder shouldn't be a problem.

  Just set up that point, and still nothing.
  Maybe i must create a playable scene too?
