Actually no, i've changed the /?????/ directory to normal english letters, no success. Also tried with the rest of the folders, still nothing. But that remimded me of the old XP problem that if a file is too "far" in folders(folder in folder in folder...) it bugs up. I've encountered it only once long time ago(5-6 years+) an i totally forgot about it. I moved the whole games folder it back to the base of the drive( for TA2 that would look like: "D:\Games\Asagi\Asagi 2\TaimaninAsagi2\") and VOALA - all of them started working again. I would had never guessed that it might be this if it wasn't for your help. Thanks A LOT ultimecea. And also thanks to everyone who tried to help me out. Finally 3 days later I've found a fix for this. Still doesn't explain why they worked before... but who cares? Again thanks ultimecea.

Givving you a proof of what i said: As for AppLocale i tried it, but its a mere emulator that works through the japanese locale already installed on my pc - i.e. doesn't work with it. Actually it gives me the very same result as if i'm with japanese locale - BB works, all other say "file .exe cannot be opened" in japanese. I don't know what the problem is, but all the games i've listed were working, before i changed back to my local language locale, few months ago, so i doubt they damaged my pc in any way. I'm starting to get really annoyed why is this happening, and how come noone else encountered it before.... But cant be helped, i hope someone appears.

Well as i wrote in my original post Taimanin Asagi (2 and Chaos Arena) also work without japanese locale, but when with japanese locale they also don't work. It makes no sense for me, i hoped it would for someone here.

Well, I really don't understand the difference between japanese locale and to change my locale to japanese, sorry for the misunderstanding. But in any case that's exactly what i'm doing. I already tried to fix it by making it "reinstall" itself by copying all it needed anew, still didn't work. And i really cant figure out why only BB works normaly.

Ok, a bit weird problem. When in japanese locale, almost all vn i have give me a "File .../folder_location/game.exe cannot be opened" error (but in japanese - i managed to translate it via dictionary) with title of the error: the name of the exe. The vns are Captive Market, Taimanin Asagi(1,2,CA), Prison Battleship. And there is abnormally working(old saves are not loaded, and there cant be new saves, but otherwise ok) Bible black. All of these work normally in my local setting(run normally(BB,TA(2,CA)) or show the usual blue japanese error screen(PBS,CM,TA(1)). I'm runing Win XP Pro SP3. I had Japanese locale installed from before, but back then everything was ok, except bible black - even then it was having this abnormal behavior. But i was forced to switch to my local language and now when i returned it was like this - errors. I recopyed the japanese locale pack - so i can't say its from it. Can anyone help me with this? There must be a reason bible black to be running "normally" and the other not

Hello, i'm new to this forum so sorry if i misplaced this thread. I have some kind of wierd error looking like this I get this on every game when i try to execute the .exe files when in japanese locale. Otherwise if i'm not in japanese locale i get only the blue screen with the usual error or a runing game. I'm runing on Win XP sp3. I changed to japanese locale recently and just like some time ago. Before the games were runing perfectly with the japanese locale, now this error. Any idea why is that and/or how to fix it? P.S. sorry for the bad english.
