Could be your security settings are stopping you from running unknown scripts. Try finding the PzCRBg.hta in the main folder. Right click it and see if you can run as admin.

what is your operating system. It sounds like you're having a problem running hta apps.

Your file associations might not be set to the default. If you're using Win 7, go to the Game folder root (the main PCO folder).
find the file named: PzCRBg.hta. This is the Random Battle Generator.

Right click on this file to bring up a file menu. Then choose properties. from the properties go to the General Tab. It should look like the screen below.

It should show that it opens with the Micorsoft HTML Application Host. If it shows something else, click on the change button and change it to open with Microsoft HTML Application Host (this is the default setting for hta's I believe). When you change it, you might want to check the box at bottom to set it for all hta's. If you don't want to set it foor hta's you will need to repeat this process for all of the hta files in that Game folder.

Thanks

In the screenshot above, where it shows "Open with: Microsoft(R) HTML Ap..." press the button labeled: "Change..." and on the next screen select Microsoft(R) HTML Application Host. I'm doing this with Win 7, so if you aren't using Win 7 it might look different, I don't recall how it looks in Win XP.


Thanks

Looks the same on XP. Don't press the shift key when you want a 7.

It is possible that when you installed the game, the required .Net 4 did not install.
