How to use RMXP with Vista (a.k.a.

How to fix any nTitles error) By Glitchfinder Well, I'm sure most of you are familiar with my old tutorial, on how to get RPG Maker XP to run on Windows Vista. Well, now I'm about to post a newer version, m eant to fix any error you may ever encounter regarding the nTitles server, inclu ding if you want to set up RMXP or RMVX on a computer without internet access. A nyway, here goes! Quote: Let's face it, way too many people ask this question. They ask why they are gett ing the error "Failed to obtain a trial serial number from the nTitles server." Well, let me say something. Vista's screwey. Just understand that, and you can g et over many issues. Anyway, you have this error, and you don't know how to fix it. In this tutorial, I will explain several methods I have found to solve this issue, in order from easiest to most difficult. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'l l post them in spoilers. Finally, let me also mention that the third tutorial wi ll allow people to install RPG Maker XP on a computer without an internet connec tion. Step 1 - Administator Priveledges Spoiler: Well, this one is the oldest method, and the simplest. It has been recommended o ver and over again. Now, it doesn't always solve the problem, which is why the n ext turtorial exists. In fact, unless they have updated Vista, this method only fixes it for at most 2/3 of the general population. 1. Go to RMXP's installation directory. (Usually C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\RPG XP) 2. Right click on RPGXP.exe, and choose "Properties" 3. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Compatibility" tab. 4. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and sel ect "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" 5. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". 6. If you cannot check the box mentioned in step 5, follow steps 7 through 11. 7. Click on the button that says "Show settings for all users". 8. Click the "OK" button on the "Windows needs your permission to continue" butt on, after inputting the password of the specified administrator if necessary. 9. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and sel ect "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" 10. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". 11. Click the "OK" button. 12. Click the "OK" button. Also, if you cannot find a tab named "Compatibility", then go into the windows h elp function and search "Compatibility", (without the quotes), open the Compatib ility Wizard, and follow the steps that it gives you until the end, then save th e settings. If the above tutorial does not solve it for you, then use the following tutorial : Step 2 - Administator Priveledges Level 2 Spoiler: First off, I want to say that this tutorial was first posted here by me on Novem ber 12, 2007. Within a week, it had been posted at nearly every help site I coul d find, and turned into quite a few Youtube videos to boot. (In more than just E nglish, too!) Anyway, it incorporates the first tutorial, and goes a step furthe r. This should solve the problem for almost anybody who found that the first tut orial did not help. 1. Go to your root RMXP directory. (Usually C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\RPGXP) 2. Right click RPGXP.exe and choose "Properties". 3. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Compatibility" tab.

4. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and sel ect "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" 5. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". 6. If you cannot check the box mentioned in step 5, follow steps 7 through 11. 7. Click on the button that says "Show settings for all users". 8. Click the "OK" button on the "Windows needs your permission to continue" butt on, after inputting the password of the specified administrator if necessary. 9. Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and sel ect "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" 10. Check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator". 11. Click the "OK" button. 12. Click the "OK" button. 13. Right click PSIKey.dll and choose "Properties". 14. In the "Properties" popup, go to the "Security" tab. 15. Click on the "Advanced" button. 16. Highlight the permission entry that says "Users ([your computer's name]\User s)" where [your computer's name] is whatever you named your computer. (Mine is M edia-PC) 17. Click the "Edit..." button. 18. Highlight the group "Users ([your computer's name]\Users)". 19. In the popup that appears (It should be named "Permission Entry for PSIKey.d ll"), check the "Allow" box for the option "Full Control". 20. All of the "Allow" boxes below the box you just checked should now be checke d as well. 21. Click the "OK" Button. 22. Check the box that says "Include inheritable permissios from this object's p arents". 23. Click the "OK" button. 24. Click the "OK" Button. 25. Click the "OK" Button. 26. Run RPG Maker XP, and you should no longer get the error message! 27. If you still get the error message, log into the administrative account on t he computer (With the owner's permission) and then run RPG Maker XP. It should w ork no matter what on that account, after you have successfully completed the ab ove steps. 28. Have fun building games with the legal version of RPG Maker XP! If neither of the above tutorials works for you, or if you are trying to install RMXP or RMVX on a computer without internet, simply follow the steps in this tu torial. Step 3 - Rewritten Registry Spoiler: Well, this is my final, and most extreme tutorial. This is not only for people w ho have found that nothing they do can fix their error, it is also for those who wish to install their programs on a computer not connected to the internet. Be warned, this final tutorial involves editing the registry. Do NOT edit the regis try without proper guidance, as you can do serious damage to your computer. I ha ve personally found and exported these from the registry, and then tested them o n several different computers. As a final warning, if you follow the steps in th is tutorial, you will be given an expired trial version, instead of a working 30 -day trial. 1. Open Notepad, and copy the code from one of the two boxes below into a new do cument. (Depending on whether you want to fix RMXP or RMVX) 2. Save the document as "Protexis.reg". 3. Double-click on the new file, Preotexis.reg. (The .reg might not be there, de pending on your computer's settings) 4. Navigate through the popups, so that it will import the new keys into the reg istry. (I will not give specific messages like in previous tutorials, because th

is is intended for more than just Vista. Suffice to say, you should get a messag e to the effect of "Are you sure you want to add the information in "C:\..." to the Registry?") 5. When you have added it to the registry, you should now be able to open the pr ogram to recieve a message saying that your 30-day trial has expired, instead of the standard nTitles error. Then, all you have to do is register your copy of t he program, and you can use it, even if your computer has no internet! Here are the codes you need to copy.
