Now ive heard people are switching the save game folder to c:\resident evil 2 and having it working but the problem with that is that i cannot change the folder at all,i get the "unable to find file.please reboot and try again". even when im trying to reinstall it the save game folder will freeze if i try to change it
I had the same problem you had. I have windows xp with sp2. I installed the game and when I would go to load the game the load entry would be blank. When I'd try to load it, it would say load fail. I browsed another site and saw someone got it working by running the game in Windows 95 compatibility mode. I made a shortcut to the game on my desktop. I went into the compatibility properties of the shortcut. I checked "Run in compatibility mode for" and selected "Windows 95". I fired the game up, went to the load. This time the load entry was not blank. I could see the name of the saved game. I then loaded it successfully. I know you said you did this, but if I were you, I'd try again and do everything exactly like I just did. It should work when running in Win95 capability mode.
Dear fixsoc35: I had the exact same problem as you regarding the PC version for Resident Evil 2. The game installer would freeze if I changed the folder installation path, the error "Unable to find the file. Please reboot." would show up if I tried to change the save game directory, the game would crash and shut down everytime I tried to use the effing typewriter or load a game. Not that there was any other game to load except for "Leon/00/Waiting Room"

After playing "Hard Mode" through the streets, that just below the stairs since I didn't pick up any items reaching the police station, that I was fighting the special zombie. During this battle as 4 seconds past, the game screen turned black and I didn't know why it was doing this. Next thing that came up was the game told me "An Error Occurred" and stop responding so it gave me 2 choices to "send error report" or "do not send".
