Error messages in RM2K3

[Zerlina]

My friend just downloaded a version of RM2K3 and he's getting this error message-

"Unable to test play due to a fatal error during project compilation."

I searched for the problem and can't find anything. Could someone tell me how to fix the problem?

Thanks!

If you're getting that error, its probably beacuse one of two things. Rpg maker is currupt/ the version of rpg maker they have is corrupt, in which case you will need to redownload rpg maker or download a differant version of rpg maker.

The second thing that it could be is that rpg_rt.exe file of the game is corrupt, and this actually happens a lot. But anyway, its pretty easy to fix, what you do is create a new project, then from that new project, copy the rpg_rt.exe file, and paste it over the rpg_rt.exe file in your project folder. The rpg_rt.exe file is the main file that runs an rpg maker game, but it doesn't hold any of 'your' game info, so replacing it shouldn't erase any of your game information (unless you used an external program to replace the splash screen in rpg maker).

Anyway, try the second thing first because it should be a lot easier than the first. If that doesn't work, let me know.
