I downloaded ZC v2.10 for Windows and it wouldn't run after I installed it on my pc. Can anyone explain why that may be? I'm not too knowledgeable w/ pc's so there might be something I haven't checked or something that should be common sense that I don't know.
Newbie w/ question
It's very likely that you don't have the right version of Windows.
Zelda Classic 2.10 was made mostly for Windows XP, so it might not work in a newer version and it's very difficult, if possible to run 2.10 on Vista.
But there are newer versions of Zelda Classic, which others suggest. Although many people advise to first use a stabler build like 2.10 or even 1.90 to make the ZQuest, and add on with these alphas, backing-up your quest to make sure that your work doesn't get erased.
There is of course, the Mac versions and Linux versions on Shardstorm. if you're not a PC (Windows) user.
As far as I know, 2.11 builds are the only versions that work on Vista, assuming that you have Vista. 😉
There have been some people reporting that 2.10 will work with Vista if you right click the file/icon and run it as an administrator. You can try that but if it doesn't work, one of the alpha builds is probably your best bet.
Are you running Windows 98, Win2000, WinME, WinXP, or Vista?
i had to get the new build for my computer
