That's because you use Windows 98.

Nice job, I might pay attention to this thread. :) I suck at any kind of drawing... Hopefully this will help and maybe, just maybe, motivate me to make a game. :!:

I think they were hosted on imageshack and/or one of DA's sites, but are now no longer up on the net.

Sorry about that, this is the second time I've had to update the links. First time is when my ISP decided to move to a new server, and second time is now after I've changed ISPs and have moved onto a better hosting space (thanks to dysfunction).

The tutorials have now been updated, and hopefully won't change for quite some time.
