I have scoured forums all over the internet and still can't seem to find an answer to this program-breaking issue that has been stopping me from using XP for days.

My computer resolution (default) is 3200x1800. My DPI scaling (default) is at 250%. After downloading XP with no issues, it would not open at all, giving me the "Cannot run with less than 1024x768 resolution". After trying every resolution option, I found out I could go into compatibility settings and override the high DPI scaling (through the program Properties). With this box checked, XP could be opened, however, I could not save anything in the database or script editor - because the literal program windows were too big and were cut-off. By pressing Alt-Spacebar I could move the windows around with my keyboard arrows, but when I pressed Enter to freeze it in place, the window would revert to its original, cut-off placement. Without being able to access the "Ok" and "Save" buttons at the bottom of the windows, I have been unable to make any major changes to my game.

I figure the issue must be some combination of the override plus by own scaling and resolution issues, but no matter what combination I use the moment I un-check the override, XP stops opening. Please help :( I'm sad and frustrated... (I run Windows 10, I have the newest version of XP as bought thru Steam).

I just downloaded the trial version, and I am getting the same error when I try to start the program. Did you find a solution?
Thanks!

I had the same issue . Discovered by going into display settings in control panel and clicking on Set custom text size (DPI), and adjusting scale size to 140%. it started working for me

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
