NOOB QUESTION

Hi

Sorry for this in advance. I have an outrageously-stupid-poor-old-guy-doesn't-know-how-to-install-programs-properly-or-something question to ask.

After installing RPG Maker XP and the necessary ruby related stuff, I am getting an error message whenever I open the program:

Failed to obtain a trial serial number from the nTitles server.

Yup. Um, I am running Vista and not XP, could that be the reason?

Thanks!

Make sure your firewall is down (though may not be necessary after next step). When starting rm, right click the executable and select "run as administrator". Or you could just completely turn off that damn UAC. Anyway, I am pretty sure that you do not need to install the ruby runtime to use XP (does that for you), but it doesn't matter.

EDIT: And make sure that you are connected to the internet :)
yeah, run the program in compatability mode.
right click -> properties -> compatability tab -> check "Run this program in combatability mode for XP Service pack 2 -> check "Run program as administrator


hopefully that fixes it.
