Getting RPG Maker XP to work in Windows Vista or 7
It's come to my attention that a good number of users are having trouble getting RPG Maker XP working under Vista or 7. When starting RPXP, or a RPXP game, a window would open and just as quickly close, without any kind of error message. I had the same trouble, and discovered a solution.
There is a Windows feature, DEP (Data Execution Prevention). It's a security feature meant to block malicious scripting from launching, but there are some older, legit programs it does not play nice with. Half-Life 1 being one, RPG Maker XP being another. The solution is to disable DEP outright, or add EVERY executable (for RPG Maker XP, and for each game) to the DEP exception list.
Hope this helps!

Where to even begin with RPG Maker
Okay, I've been playing these kinds of RPGs for a long time now, dating back even to some of the Ultimas, Questrons, Legend of Blacksilver, etc. on the C64, through the NES, SNES, PSX, PS2. etc., including Final Fantasy, Lunar, and Chrono Trigger among my favorites. I miss playing these kinds of games, and also think I could make a good one or two.
So, I found about about the RPG Maker, but am at a loss as to a starting point. I'm literally overloaded. First, there is RPG Maker VX, which is the latest, but I see a lot of people use RPG Maker XP. Why? What advantages do one have over the other? Is there an instruction manual for either? I see tutorials for specific things, including scripting, but nothing from a complete newbie's POV.
I realize this is disjointed, but I'm really just looking for advise as to how to start. I don't mind fiddling, experimenting, and bug hunting, but I do need to know how to get going in the first place.
In addition, I miss a good 16-bit JRPG. Any suggestions on a good game or two for the RPG Maker series to cut my teeth on?
Thanks in advance,
