Wrong section. Moving to the Daddy Help Me section. I can't help you, but I hope someone else can.

Re: Silent Hill Problems With Vista
It is for any problems you are having involving in the game as well as in-game play. There are several threads on system problems, so hopefully you can get help in here.

Re: Silent Hill Problems With Vista
This is a downloaded version of the game. While using an emulator is a viable solution, I'd suggest a back up of your own original disc, or using the original disc itself and the emulator separately.
With that in mind, How did you install epsxe? There are some specifics you need to do, especially in Vista (Runas administrator or *shudder* disable the UAC [not recommended]) to get it to work. Always using an updated version of ePSXe is a good idea, as well as possibly using a good front end like ePSXecutor to set up your games. What BIOS version is your PSX (where you got your BIOS SCHP file for running the PSX games), and what method did you use to rip it?

and i didn't install epsxe it came with that silentscape version of silent hill...like i said it was just a conversion so its not really a pc version its just a pc rip if its installing it will install the iso and epsxe but the installation stops when it says registering fonts then if you go play the game it will say epsxe has stopped working i know its not the font with the problem cause i have a laptop with xp and i don't remember it installing those fonts.
hmm...i haven't tried running as administrator but it did work when i was playing silent hill 2...ok i'll try it thanks for helping

Re: Silent Hill Problems With Vista
As much as I'd like to help you, I don't think it's a good idea to offer anymore support on this. I'd seriously suggest finding a legit copy and getting the emulator separately, and installing the latest version of ePSXe, rather than any prebottled version that may not support Vista properly.

Re: Silent Hill Problems With Vista
The Vista OS has more problems with playing old games. You can't play Red Alert 1 either on Vista. I'd suggest you install either windows 7 or windows xp.

You always can install a virtual machine with Windows XP and try there... My scanner doesn't work with Vista but it does work with the XP OS that I have in my virtual machine...
