When I try to open Bizhawk, nothing happens. I hope that it is because I do not know how to open Bizhawk, but a Youtube video completely fails to help.

Install the prereqs, add the BizHawk folder as an exception to your antivirus, never EVER trust YouTube for advice.

I have tried what you suggested, but it seems to have the exact same problem as before. EmuHawk does not seem to be functioning correctly. Double-clicking to open it does not open any windows, and (according to Task Manager) it runs for a few seconds and then ends.

Try older versions, for some reason, Now that I am on Win10 only 1.11.0 works for me. You may be in the same boat.

Thanks,1.11.0 seems to work now! 1.11.4 also doesn't seem to work on Win7, which the computer I am using runs on. All I need is to get a game to play on it...

Have you tried installing this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/bizhawk/files/Prerequisites/bizhawk_prereqs_v1.2.zip/download There were some changes in the prerequisites and they needed to be updated.

prereqs from either installers didnt help me with any bizhawk above 1.11.0. No clue what the issue was with the newer versions
