two variations of the error. One has popups about the missing sprites, and one just displays the error log.

and
I have:
-patched sakray
-patched aRO
-attempted to manually insert the missing (though they're there actually .-.) shadow.act and shadow.spr using GryFF.
-copied sdata.grf from my laptop
-copied the entire RO directory from my laptop
-after doing the step above, uninstalled and dled the updated 'big' installer; still nothing
-dled the official kRO sakray from RMS
-uninstalled Avira and went back to my old NOD32 (same as laptop)... still nothing
after typing this wall of text I tried again and hey got a window open but when I try to open another, same error. I kinda don't wanna close the miracle window right now cause my laptop needs fixing, so that window is the only chance I have to play for the next few weeks. >>' Sakray is patched, but after a few tries, it
patches again. wtf.
edit: closed the window to attempt to make a bigger one, now it won't let me play at all. Using the laptop.
I'm running M$ XP sp 2 with about 6gb of space left in the installation drive. Tell me this can be fixed D:
