solution found in patching issue (for me that is)

Um, it's been a long time I know since this thread was last replied to so I don't know if everyone had solved this issue.
I've only recently downloaded Silver Chaos Eternal Fantasia (yeah, I know...) and got the same issue as well after patching the english translation. After several hours spent looking for options and even tinkering with the avi file deletion and region change to Japanese, I found a solution.
What I did is, after patching the game, right click the link in the desktop to the game and choose properties. In the compatibility tab, I clicked the check box stating "disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
Mind you, I expected to get the mainsystem.exe error again but to my surprise, the game actually started! And it's patched in english successfully!
Upon deeper inspection, if you click the option to run it in 256 colours, it works as well but the resulting colours in the game are less desired...
I did not chose to run it as admin nor did I hit the compatibility option to windows xp or anything other.
I hope this may help whoever experienced the same issue. :)
Btw, I'm running on Windows 7 (32 bit I believe but the seller told me it was 64bit (Hmph!) with my Acer laptop.
Cheers!
