Resident Evil freezes

[Seamus169 0]

So I decided to once again pick up this game and give it a try in XP

I installed and play the game in Win95 comp.mode, no matter what graphics card I choose in the options, the game freezes at the exact same moment

 

This is when playing with the Jill character and is very early in the game

Any tips ?

 

Thx

hello again...here's what you need to do to solve this problem.

When you (playing as Jill) enter the room with Barry...go back to the hall...Wesker will talk to you and Jill will go back, then try to go to Wesker again...and Barry will say something...then go to him...but when you get to clock...zombie will get in the room and Barry will kill him...there will be the same movie...but near clock...and you will be able to continue the game...that's all.

How did you get it to install in the first place? It freaks out and tells me It'll only play on Win95 and exits installer

i changed all files on the cd that can be changed to run in win95 comp mode and ive tried doing this in regular and safe mode. I'm getting an error and it wont even let me see what the error is

Try making an ISO from that cd...and use Alcohol 120% or Deamon tools to mount it on virtual drive. Then use compatibility mode on these files:

CHECKER.EXE

LAUNCH.EXE

SETUP.EXE

RESIDENT EVIL.EXE

 

Try to run the setup again...there should be an error right away...but pressing ESC will allow you to continue. Install everything and choose any video card...and play.

If you cant install everything....then choose minimal....or nothing to install...and then try to play.
