Hi

I've just installed RES 2 for the PC

I been playing it (works perfect)

I got to the police station (playing leon), i used a ink ribbon and saved my first game 'Lean hall 1'

keeps saying 'Load Failed'

I can't re-load the game. The save file is there as i can see the file when i go into windows.

I'm i doing something wrong

Don't really want to start over again

thanks

Windows XP

Dell Inspiron 9400
Dual Core
2 GB Ram
ATI X1400 (256mb) Ram

Playing in software mode as GFX card not supported

640 x 480 full screen 16pp


Ok i did a re-install and follwed this procedure

How to fix Resident Evil 2's save/load problem for Windows XP.

1.) You must install a fresh copy of RE2 to this location C:\RESIDENT EVIL2. (Im not sure about moved saved games, but you can try to move your old saved game files to new location.)

2.) Once installed and CD is in the drive goto CD-ROM drive and explore the contents (Right click, explore).

3.) Once inside the disc navigate to REGIST, to the LEONP.exe, or CLAIRP.exe. (or CLAIRU.exe, LEONU.exe, what ever the case maybe)

4.) Right click the exe file and create a shortcut to your desktop.

5.) Goto your desktop and right click the shortcut. Goto compatability, and enable windows 95 capable mode.

Your RE2 should work, load, and save games correctly at this point! Have fun, and be sure to use the shortcut exe from now on.



But i still get the Load Fail problem and the save file is in C Program files/Capcom/Resident evil 2/..... even when i install the main game to C Resident evil 2

Hey anyone here that have Problem with Save/Load in Resident Evil 2!

after 2-3 day searching all over the net and trying everything that not worked!



I finally (better say suddenly) solved my problem myself



the thing that caused the problem to be solved:


1-Open <ResidentEvil2 Game Folder>\Regist\Res2_uninst.exe

2- Check the "Registry" CheckBox and Click Uninstall

That's it!




After That my problem solved!



some other things that may be help(the other things i'v done):

* I Created a New Folder and named it "ResidentEvil2" Then Copied all files of both Disk (Leon & Clair) to this Folder (if asked for overwrite click yes)

* Set compatibility of "CLAIREP.EXE" & "LEONP.EXE" & "ResidentEvil2.exe" in ResidentEvil2 Folder to "Windows95" and "Administrator" Privilege

* Graphic Card set to Unknown Card

* My Windows is "7 Ultimate 64bit"

* Directory of my game folder => C:\ResidentEvil2

* Drive Format Type: NTFS

Hope you could solve this problem too and enjoy
