XP Pro is quite picky. Are you running ZQuest as a system administrator? If not, that's your problem.

Yes i am an administrator. i tried about everything. Reinstalling it didnt work... But i think theres a way. I made a shortcut of zquest and then clicked properties. Then i went to the tab "Shortcut" then i went to "Target" now at the end of the target do any of yall have anything? Like "-windowed" or "-large"?? Becuase if i put it with windowed i get a small screen of zquest but really slow and i cant see the mouse. And i i put "-large" i get a black screen....then i would have to shut it down with Ctl+Alt+Dlt

Then if you are a computer administrator, I recommend trying this file.

http://fatcatfan.armageddongames.net/zc/zc210w.exe <- This is the complete set and it also starts you out with a few custom quests as well as the shortcuts pre-made for you. 😊

i dont know if this will help...

i use xp pro as well and have no problems running Zquest or Zelda Classic so far, though i did encounter the invisable mouse problem in the windowed version. i just swiched to fullscreen mode to fix that (fullscreen works best for me). as for getting an error message i havent ran across that yet.
