CJC

I recently got a new netbook, which is a very compact and portable breed of laptop. Getting a little nostalgic, I decided to install ZC on it.
Now usually I have trouble opening the programs when I first install it on a new computer... and what I do to fix it involves taking an older version, pasting it into the folder, and then unzipping the new stuff into that folder to overlap the old.
This did NOT work this time. In fact, I continually recieve an error message when trying to open ZQuest-W.exe (Even though no error occurs with the other three exectuable files).
Here's the error message:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Zelda Classic\New Beta\Build984\zquest-w.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team for more information.
I looked up Microsoft Visual C++ and installed it, but the same error message occurs when I try to open ZQuest-w.exe.
Here's my computer info.
Operating System:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Computer:
Asus EeePC
Intel® Atom ™
CPU N270 @ 1.60 GHz
1.05 GHz, .99 GB of RAM
And here are the relevant contents of my Build984 Folder:
210test.qst
1st.qst
2nd.qst
3rd.qst
zelda.dat
zc.sav
test29.qst
sfx.dat
qst.dat
fonts.dat
alleg42.dll
ag.cfg
211test.qst
2KNHZITD.tmp
zquest-w.exe
zquest.dat
zelda-w.exe
alleg41.dll
alleg42_crt.dll
allegro.txt
std.zh
zc.icn
zgp.dat
zlaunch-w.exe
romview-w.exe
ZQuest 2.10 runs fine, but the new beta doesn't.
Is there a file that I am missing, or a program I have to install to make the beta run correctly? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Reeling it back from the latest beta backward, I was able to get a working version (Beta 967), albeit only opening through the launcher. Was there something added to the program after that beta that is interfereing with XP Service Pack 3?
