So I came back to playing Petz recently after like a decade and I installed the game using Yabiko's updated Vanilla version, it was running great for a while and now it's asking me for my serial number every time it starts, it'll play without me entering it but it's like it resets the game. I also keep getting an error message about the voice software and it never remembers my 'don't tell me this again' request, I guess because it keeps resetting it. So it also sets my name to 'unknown' and all the items in the different scens in the game are back to the default. It's just frustrating overall. Should I just try to find a regular version and install it and update myself or is there a fix for this or something?

Have you installed in My Documents? Are you running as administrator? Those should be your first attempts for whatever magical reasons they do anything.

Hi, ripley! Are you playing the game on Windows? If so, have you tried setting the main Petz .exe file (e.g., "Petz 4.exe" or "Petz 5.exe") to run as administrator? Doing so should allow your settings, such as your name and any toys you have placed in the various scenes, to be saved.
Edit: Looks like Anthracite beat me to this! I love that the Petz community is so helpful. <3

Thank you! I had it installed in My Documents but I hadn't been running it as administrator and that fixed the problem! I was hoping it was a simple fix like that
