Running it as admin worked. Thanks.

Update, I tried it by replacing the next weapon and previous weapon buttons on my controller. It worked, but it still won't on keyboard.

I got a hold of a copy of this game seeking to learn to run it, but I try to quick save to do the stamina restore thing and it won't work. I tried changing the buttons and switching them with others that I know work. Still nothing.

Oh, that really helps. Thanks.

I meant on the spearow manip, but yeah. I assume now it's just button pressing wrong.

I've been at this for two hours and I had no idea the stuff done on the start screen was important at all. It'd really help if either the video linked in the document or the document itself would explain this.
