"Check VBA32 and you'll see what I'm talking about. Also, check Kingsoft for the second type of malware." VBA32? KingSoft? I've never heard of either one of those. Does something like Avast or Norton pick anything up?

That error means the game is already running. Try restarting your computer before starting the game.

Make sure you are giving the emulator enough memory - if you don't have enough memory assigned to the emulator you will get the A>op screen, full stop. I ran into that issue when I tried to get NP2 to run on my Wii, which didn't have enough memory to support it. The only file I've had to run and set up to get the games working is np21nt.exe - np21.exe is for Windows 9x machines (which are very old), np2sx.exe is for 386SX (a specific CPU), and np2.exe is an older version of the program from my understanding.

you don't need to run the whole game installer - install directX from here, then attempt to relaunch the .exe you tried at first (not the whole game installer) the first window that you got was THCRAP, and it's supposed to do that on the first or second launch (THCRAP is what patches the games to have translated text) If you are still having issues after installing DirectX and attempting to launch the game, let me know - from your screenshots it appears that you are using Windows 10, which is known to not play nice with EoSD

New version of the Touhou (Re)Launcher has been uploaded to the Shrine which should have a fix for the expired replay access domain issue.

The patch that allows the English translation messes with the original game in a way that some antiviruses don't like (generating what's known as a "false positive")... An actual infection would probably consist of over half of the AVs used in VirusTotal reporting a problem. ~ Kurzov

We did some renaming of files recently and that may not have been changed to point to the new download. Please submit a report (there's a link to do so at the place where you tried to download it) and we will get on that.
