I get an error every time I try to start the game: "EZ II.exe has stopped working". Any idea how to fix this?

It worked fine for me. But just to make sure, do check the game folder attributes to not be set to read only and apply to all containing files and folders. I had this problem with the jap version when it couldn't save or pass to 2nd mission. Also the "o" gallery unlock cheat crashed the game.
