This happened to me on XP as well. Not only Ys games but the Legend of Heroes 6 as well. Sometimes after installing a new Falcom game, it doesn't work.

There's no sure way to solve this and I solved mine through trial and error, sometimes uninstalling both games and reinstalling them, sometimes reinstalling graphics drivers and once, I even reinstalled Windows XP to have all games to work.

Anyway I am using Vista as well, and all my Falcom XP games work so far. So I suggest the easiest way is to back up your savegames, reinstall the games and install the patches and run them in admin mode and in XP SP2 compatibility mode. Also reinstall latest graphics drivers if you want.

I think you have to use Applocale for launching tthe game under winxp.
Ark blocks since it detectes that there is no japanese system on your pc.
Applocale is a microsoft windows utility that let you launch a random application selecting which system you want.
In few words it emulates to the application that on your pc is running a japanese windows version.
Did you get?
You can find it here:
