I can't encrypt my game or compress the game data!

[iceplosion]

Apparently its because I'm using the RSC hidden files but I can't encrypt my game, every time I do (and the encryption finishes) the extraction fails so the game can't be played.
I don't want to have to hand out my game files so people can access the game and modify things also it means everyone who plays it will need t download RPG Maker XP.
Is there any way to encrypt your game when using these files?

I'm guessing you are using SDK or MACL well that was a blunder in Seph's instructions (blame him please :p) well just move them to the Data folder and change

require 'RSC Hidden Files/The Method and Class Library 2.1'
require 'RSC Hidden Files/The RMXP Standard Development Kit 2.3'

to

require 'Data/The Method and Class Library 2.1'
require 'Data/The RMXP Standard Development Kit 2.3'

I'm using the SDK and MACL, there is also a script called RSC Require above those should I do anything to that?
(also should the screenshot.dll be moved to the data folder as well?)
I've changed both those lines of code and I'm still getting the same problem (An extract failed message and then the game not playing)

RSC Require script should be above everything. It does not need any special attention. screenshot.dll should still remain the in the base directory. As for the extraction problem, try compressing the data again.

Still having the same problem, also I think it might be worth mentioning every time I compress the data I get a file called test.002 which has never happened before (of course this is the first time I have tried to compress the data using Vista so that may have caused it)
Also I can make the game work if after I extract it and get the extraction failed message I add the graphics folder to the game directory.

Ahh. Sounds like you have a corrupt Audio or Graphic file. Try taking each one out one at a time, compressing the game each time. Once the extraction works, then you know what file is corrupt. Then it's just a matter of replacing it.

really?
I've got 1,589 graphic files.....
well at least I know what's wrong now, I'll get started on that.
