THE PROBLEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've just been to hell and back with a copy of RE2 Platinum for PC. when I was playing the game,
I would try to save. Then, when I wanted to reload, the program wouldn't read the save file! I
panicked for a about two hours, then I solved the problem.
THE SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you've installed RE2 on WinXP, leave the disk in the CD-ROM drive.
1. Go to START/PROGRAM FILES/CAPCOM/RESIDENT EVIL2/RESIDENT EVIL2.EXE
2. Right-click on the icon. Select PROPERTIES.
3. Click the COMPATIBILITY tab.
4. In the COMPATIBILITY MODE box, place a check mark in the box that reads "RUN THIS PROGRAM IN
COMPATIBILITY MODE FOR:"
5. In the scroll menu beneath, WINDOWS 95 should already be the choice.
I basically figured out that RE2 and RE3 are not compatible with WindowsXP. By running it under
temporary previous settings, you should have no problem reading your save files.
Good luck!
