[XP] The problem with Vista. Check here if you have Vista, before posting.

Well, for me, running it in compatibility mode has worked SO FAR.

If you're an advanced computer user, I could give you instruction on how to run XP as a virtual machine, and launch RPG maker from there, if you have an extra copy of XP lying around. It seems to me that just for RPG maker, it would be kind of time-intensive and space consuming, though.

I'VE GOT IT WORKING!!!!
I'm using vista home premium 32-bit,
if you really want too get rpg maker xp working what you need to do is:
1.buy or download demo from www.download.com,
2.Setup to desktop not original location-c:Programme files/enterbrain,
3.If you bought it then don't forget too put your serial in or it will expire after 30 days.
any questions email me at scheps@hotmail.co.uk.
P.S. PK EDITION DOES NOT WORK!!!!!

On mine it starts up but immediately just stops working( it literally just says that it has stopped working), running on Vista... I'm really starting to hate vista

This is usual for PK, owever if you're running the legal edition then try switching to PK and vice-versa.

does it say RGSS has stopped working when you go to test play? if it does you need to change the config file as stated above...

I managed to download postility knights, but even if I run it as administraitor, it won't work.
How do you run a program in compatible mode?
And also, I can't find the ini file anywhere...... So I can't edit that.

the file is in documents/rpgxp/"projectname" and it is called: "Game" and the file type is configuration settings, change that file...

Doesn't exist. It wouldn't give me a folder for rpgxp, just the program....

...it's in program files.

Already looked there....

I finally did get RPGMXP to work on my new computer with Vista.  But I'm still having one problem: when I playtest, the character/map movement is very jolty, not very smooth like on my XP computer.  Is this because of DirectX?  Surely the better processor and RAM should make it appear LESS jolty?  Is there a way to make it less jolty?  I am using 1280x800 resolution with a Nvidia card, if that matters.

Give me your specs. It may be the computer.

Dell Vostro 1500, Intel Core2 Duo T5270, Vista Home Premium, 2GB RAM, 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

You there, Irock?  Please don't abandon me!     I need to fix this!  Is it because of that DirectX 10?

An old "friend" of the site (hint: Cold) figured out the problem: I needed to go to the gameplay properties (click the game window icon and "Properties") and check "Smooth Mode" and "Reduce Screen Flickering."  No more jitters!  Hope this helps anyone else who had this dilemna too!   

im using vista 32bit and it wrks completely fine
w/ rmxp you have to right click and cliq run as adminstartor
w/ rmvx it wrks w/o this

Sorry If I post this in the wrong spot but....
(I use Vista)


I just installed RPG Maker XP and it's set for the right resolustion, but when I do Click on it, it opens and it says "Failed to Obtain The Serial Number From the nTitles Server's"

Please PM Me

PK works fine on Vista H. Premium x64, simply change the library from 100j to 102E.

102E... almost magic, eh?
Awesome stuff.
And the games work fine if you change that too.

Didn't bother reading any of this stuff but here is my summary of what ive been experencing!

1. nTitles is missing, you are not logged in as a user, only as a guest
2. RGSS file not found, reinstall it, thats what i did.
3. rgss101 (etc) (dont remember the numbers), if you move your program to a completely different computer, this will happen. (way to fix is: reinstall the rpg game from the internet on that other computer and keep your data from your map/game/adventure)
4. Trial has expired, either buy it, or get torrents. I suggest getting torrents, but if your a freak about viruses, buy it. It's $60.00

I have problem number 1. How do I sign in as a user?

nTitles could also mean you transfered the program from somewhere else, but few ppl do that

Added a fix for the "Failed to obtain serial number from N Titles server" bug.

I'm sorry im bumping this old thread but i recently got rpgmaker xp on my vista cpu. It starts and then immediately quits. The problem i have is that I cant find the .ini file. there is a rgss player file called "game" which i expect is the file you are speaking of but I cant open it right.
 
I even tried opening this file in notebook but cant find the proper line.  Just a bunch of gibberish with a few things that are almost recognizable as a language. If needed I will upload a screenshot.

p.s. sry again for bumping this old ass post.

the .ini file is the RPG Maker configuration settings file. It should have an icon similar to a notepad or the like

RPG Maker XP - Postality Knights Edition ENHANCED How do I make it compatible with Windows Vista Basic?
Run as administrator doesn't work.
I have no compatibilty tab and no enterbrain in program files.
The error I'm getting is "RPG Maker has stopped working."
