Hi friends,

Maybe I missed this, but I have not been able to find a similar thread.

I am using my laptop, DELL inspiron 7 with Intel Core i7 CPU and 8GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Ever since I bought Raiden III, I have not been able to play it even once. It just crashed and crashed no matter what I did.

Is there any advice? I would really love to play it. Been a great memory that lasts 20+ years.

Thank you!!!

Have you tried putting the game's executable/shortcut in any of the various compatibility settings? It sounds dumb, but the game always locked up for me at the "Please wait" screen, until I put it in "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode. So give those various settings a try on your system and see if it helps.

Thank you sir, but I am afraid my problem is more than that. I tried different modes, including Win 98/ME, XP, Vista, 7... none of them worked.

I am still looking for solutions. But I still appreciate your help!

The only other thing I can think of at the moment is to make sure there's permission for the game's exe file with your firewall and antivirus. It's possible they're preventing it from running because of the exe file not being given a green light so to speak.

That, or try running the exe as an administrator.

Thank you sir, although the issue is still there, I still appreciate your help.

Yeah, It crashes every single time i select start game as well

Same for me. Game is garbage.
