I updated the file.  You can try it again if it failed before.  I don't know if this will fix it, but I'm hoping it does.

Did you try running it as an administrator?

Nope this didn't solve it. My guess is that it's probably not compatible with my video card or something (which is weird considering it's a very recent card and I can run many recent games at good speed maxed out on 1920x1080)

This is a neat idea.  I think it would work, but as you mentioned there are downsides. :)

Cool. ;D

You really should look into patenting this.  It is quite cool.

Question: Do you know if the version of Windows 7, other than the bits, could have an impact on being able to get this to run? For example, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Could the program have something making it work in Professional and Ultimate or something, or maybe a different combination of bit+version?

No, most likely I was just sloppy about my DirectX coding.  Its probably relying on some dll file that I had to manually download, but I have no idea what it would be.  Either that or its relying on some VS files or something.

Aaah ok. Sometimes, dependencies can be hard to track during development. For my VB games, I discovered years later that one (Illusiat 5 PC) was dependent on anigif.ocx, which requires the user to purchase a serial to get it to work, and that one of my other game (The Reign of Legends 0) was dependent on a few other OCX files, which are free, but I have no clue in which location they need to be put.

As for my RPG Maker games, their font dependency is generally not a problem, but it could be if ran on a computer that, for some reasons, misses a lot of the system fonts. Also, I believe I got some errors while trying to run the game on certain Vista machines. It runs fine on XP and 64-bit 7. I haven't tried in others. I do know, though, that I had to search online back in 2007 to figure out how to make my two RM2K3 games not dependent on the RTPs. It involved changing a value in the ini file.

This kinda reminds me of something I was following on BenRyves's site awhile back.
