WARNING to those who use RE2 on WinXP. I installed RE2 on my PC. I set the compatibility to Win95. I left WMP open while I played the game. I exited the game and went to shut down the computer. THE COMPUTER WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN! It froze at the "Windows Is Now Shutting Down" page. I had to unplug the computer each time I had to shut down. I even tried restoring to a point before the RE2 installation. No luck. I uninstalled RE2 and erased the Capcom Folder. The computer shut down normally after that. My Computer Specs: OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 Processor AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 1.94GHz 384MB RAM

I switched computers from a slow computer (400mHz) to a fast one (2.0 gHz). I have Windows XP with the Service Pack 2. I could not play my favorite game "Resident Evil 2 Platinum Edition" on it because the gameplay was slow. I found this site by Googling "Resident Evil 2 won't play on XP". I saw the post about running Windows Media Player while running the game, I tried that and the game ran smoothly! So before you start the game, open WMP first. Now, about the Loading the saved Game: I tried the compatibility issue by switching it to '95. It worked but the screen was too small, so I hit F8 and changed the Screen Resolution and the saved game loads without a hitch! All of this with Service Pack 2 installed! So now I can play the game at Normal speed, 640x480 screen resolution and load saved games without a problem! I gave up playing my favorite game on my PC until I found NT Compatible! Thanks guys for all of your input!
