HI. First, sorry bout my english, dont have much time to improve it :).

Ive seeing the problems the people have been experiencing with this title, and ive got it to work lately on my notebook following the pieces of advice scattered arround the net.

First of all, my system is a dual core pentium with a ati xpress 200m and 1024mb of ram. My SO is windows XP SP2. The game is Resident Evil 2 Platinum Edition.

Install the game to the directory C:\Resident Evil 2. Usually the game freezes a bit when you try to browse the install folder, but it works, only wait a bit. Install all options, and both claire and leon data. Dont forget to install the windows media player 6, the directX 6 and the indeo codecs. These are located on the regist folder of both CDs.

Then, open the RE2 launcher, and browse the save game directory to C:\Resident Evil 2. after that, open the properties of the launcher executable(The one that is located in the CD) and set in the compatibility tab to windows 95. then do the same with the main executables of the cd, located in a folder named regist(LeonU and ClaireU).

If you experience graphic problems, in the OPTIONS that are located in the launcher menu, set the video card to "unknown card".

And finally, before playing, open windows media player and keep it minimized. This is required fot the game to function at full speed.

There are some people that cant see the videos in windowed mode. The solution is easy, Just move a little bit the window and the video will show.

Other people tells about a glitch when, inside the unbrella installation, the game freezes when claire is talking to leon an seeing him through the camera. To bypass the glitch, try turning the screen resolution to fullscreen mode using F8, or quit the compatibility mode in the claire exe.

I get it to work, so, keep trying and good luck!

David.
