Hei

This is how the keys look on my computer. I might have changed some values, but probably not a lot of them... In general, for this kind of edge case it might just be better to install the vn from scratch using an ISO, mounting etc. It's possible the installer is able to check for compatibility issues and adapt to them. Sorry it took so long to get back to you (getting ready to move)! I checked the registry values and they match up exactly with yours. I suppose I could try installing it from scratch - I'll give that a shot and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help so far!

Ok - I just checked and those registry entries aren't there. I'm assuming ioregadd.bat was supposed to add them? Is there any way to add them manually? *edit* I do, however have HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\asgard and the two folders inside of there.

The tablet comes with an Office product key that's unused. If you buy something that comes with an Office product key, it's pretty easy to just sell it via eBay/Craigslist. Not certain if it's labeled for resale though . I'll take a look to see if the registry stuff is located in the right place and post an update here.

Thanks for the info - what should I be looking for in the registry/entries? VNs actually seem to run great on the tablet for the most part - pretty amazing, considering that it only cost me $150 and comes with Microsoft Office for free, which you can resell for $70 or just use.

Anyone else have any suggestions? Can anyone else even reproduce this bug?

I've already tried compatibility modes for XP and Win 7, to no avail. Has anyone else gotten this to work on Win 8?

When I try to run io_r2_en.exe, I receive the error "アプリケーション初期化エラーです" This occurs even after following the directions in the troubleshoot section (after having run ioregadd.bat). My system locale is set to Japan. Here's some additional info: System locale set to Japan Running Windows 8.1 Running this on a tablet (Dell Venue 8 Pro)
