This is not the place to ask. Go to thread of the latest Oak build and post details like the OS you use and any additional information that might help.

again, make sure the "res" folder contained in the oak download is placed in your myth folder.

yes if your on a pc your need that "res" resources folder to open it... now if your on a mac well ... see pyros comment
if one does not learn from the failings of the past they are likely to suffer its return.

Indeed, not finding the res folder seems to be the most common cause of Oak not working. I should really get around to adding some kind of helpful error message for that some day ;)
