Can't get SH2 to work on Vista 64 bit

Post by phix95 »

It installs but it won't run. Is there any way around this? I am running as admin.

Right click on the SH2.exe (NOT the shortcut. Go to the install directory). Make sure it's running under Windows XP SP2 or SP3. Check the "Run as Administrator" box.

Then look at this thread for more insight on additional problems.

64-Bit Vista I'm sorry to say does not like to work with many older games, especially with ones as old as SH 2. Mine wouldn't even run a game made in 2006.

A possible solution would be to try running the application in Windows XP compatability mode.

Silent Hill for PC sucks. Get the PS/PS2 versions.
