How strange! But that will help later, so keep it installed elsewhere. ^^;;
Out of curiosity, you set up the System Unicode Locale to Japanese THIS way, right? (See image)

You also made sure to restart the computer, I'm sure. XP Have you played any other visual novels? Like DRAMAtical Murder, Togainu no Chi, etc?
Hello all! Thanks to the instructions on this thread I was able to get the game running, but unfortunately it is still in Japanese. I navigated to Index of /patches and downloaded [Nitro+CHiRAL] Lamento Ver. 1.03 Patch (DVDROM).rar thinking it might be the english patch, but when I extracted its contents and applied it, the .exe file will not work (no error message, the game window just doesn't open).
I then would have to replace the .exe file in [Nitro+CHiRAL] Lamento noDVD Patch (required for AGTH).rar in the game root file to get the game working again (in Japanese). Does anyone have a quick answer to what it is I am doing wrong?
As usual, thank you so much for the help.
Those patches aren't the English patches for the game, unfortunately. Just a Serial number, version update, and Anti-antipiracy patch.
You might want to go back and look at this post in this thread:
Lamento - Step by Step instructions
Uninstall Lamento, and try again from the beginning. ^^ Each step is separated and easy to follow.
Hello! I followed all the steps as posted, but the most I was able to get out of the game was a blank screen opening up and hanging for a couple seconds before closing itself up. I had tried opening it without the English patch for testing yet would receive no window. Here are some screen shots. I've been trying to tackle this for a few hours now and I'm wanting to get this up and running for a friend since they're wanting to playthrough the story. Screenshot_1.pngScreenshot_2.png
