First off, awesome game. I've been playing ZC for like...3 years? XD And I love it. Also have downloaded tons of quests here (and on PureZC) and beat some of them.
However, ever since I have moved all my games from my Win 98 computer to my XP computer, I have not been able to run ZC or ZQuest at all. I have even downloaded (three times) ZC and the support files and whatnot, and it still doesn't run.
What happens is that I'll double-click on the EXE for either, the screen flashes with a window as if it's executing, but then it dissapears and I get that stupid Windows XP error box, saying "ZC/ZQuest has encountered an error and has to close".
Is there something I'm missing, or need to fix to get it to work? Any help would be appreciated. :3
