Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate

I have a problem. Whenever I try to play the game it asks me to insert the DVD into the DVD drive. I have tried with the normal .exe and the start.exe and neither work. I have tried before and after the english patch. I have tried with a version of the game not from this site (desperate times call for desperate measures). I have tried without antivirus on, and with it on. My computer non-Unicode is set to Japanese.

Anyone have any idea why it won't work?

Can anyone do me a solid and tell me wtf this error means?

I can't address it if I don't even know what its trying to tell me. Can't even get to this "insert dvd" part that everybody seems to be having trouble with.

OMG yes thank you so much admin I've downloaded quite a lot of games from u and you never fail to amuse me, loved the anime from this so I'm looking to the VN

Well admin thankyou for posting eroge for all these years.It really helped to drift my loneliness away.Keep posting more and more games.

I downloaded it got the patch. And got to the point where the patch says finished and put game on start menu and that read me message. But nothing comes up afterwards. I only got the message. I got Kaspersky Antivirus Software. I tried doing the exclusion thing and i deleted the internet shortcut. And still nothing comes up. What do I do?

what does overwrite start.exe means and how u do it?

My game runs fine, but for some reason all menus are not translated while the ingame texts are.
and the texts only use half the text box, any long text will just be showned half, and it's really frustrating
anyone know how to fix this?

Strange. I used Windows 10 64 bit myself. Jap locale.
And I have no problem running it at all.
I put the game into C:\Games
I run start.exe without administrator permission
No problem at all.

I used panda antivirus, and I didn't turn it off.
I suggest you guys download "CodecTweakTool" and use it to repair / manage your video codecs and audio codecs.

I experienced a lot of problem with games in the past because my ogg files was configured to use LAV Filters, while Windows can play ogg files by itself just fine. And the video games want that too.

Uhhhh,i follow instruction and it feels like a gamble,sometime it works,sometime the the error massage show up again,and sorry for my bad english

Hey there.

I've been having problems trying to run the game, similar to many before me. I even tried running the game without the patch but I get the "Please insert DVD" prompt and pressing 'Yes' does nothing but bring it back up, while pressing 'No' closes the game. I've changed my region to Japan and I'm running it as admin.

I was wondering if anyone has figured out what could be the problem?

Thanks for any responses. I really want to play this game.

hmm, I don't know how how this worked for me but for whatever reason I have to drag the dvd check window off the koichoco.exe window then press OK for it to work. I have been able to replicate it multiple times, granted it did take me a few times in between each success.

using -windows 10 home x64

I had/have a other problem,

first time i played (fullscreen) i could not leave the save menu and save file didnt work
had to exit the game with the windoows tab
second time (fullscreen) i could not exit as well
thirt time (windowed) i could leave it and play furhter
fourth time (fullscreen) no problems so far

have to continue observing that \buglike\ thing

game dont work for me i did everything and it still says this ???? or sends me to shockwave page plugin

can someone help me i using windows 8.1 and i already done the following
1.change locale to jap and antivirus turn off
2.extract rar
3.apply patch
4. copy back the start.exe from rar
5.already run it in admin mode and compability mode.
still not working

Seems I have a problem I haven't seen anyone else have lol.
I don't see run.exe(or start.exe) just the regular 恋と選挙とチョコレート file.

I kept trying star.exe and pressing yes and if it didn't work then i pressed no and tried again until it worked.

couldn't get past the insert DVD without the iso, after having it I was able to get to the part asking for the serial # so it

Anyone know how to change the resolution of the game? For me its either reading in a tiny box or really stretched out on my wide screen...

Some solutions that might work, collected from the comments.

-Try deleting the “config” folder. That made it work for me.
It’ll ask for a serial, but you can just leave it blank.
Also- Apparently, going through the actual SystemSaveData and slashing out the
KSC-Data Read got me in after doing what Anon did,
which is removing the Config folder, so if you experience the problem I recommend you
do the same.Also, the first option under the serial code is the one you need to click.
-This is for anyone who are having problems getting the insert DVD error.
First move your folder to Program Files (x86), than run the patch. Once you do that click on
run.exe not 恋と選挙とチョコレート.exe
-Disable your antivirus software before running start.exe
-delete the internet shortcut.

"This is for anyone who are having problems getting the insert DVD error. First move your folder to Program Files (x86), than run the patch. Once you do that click on run.exe not 恋と選挙とチョコレート.exe, Then when the error pops up click yes, this time something else should pop up. click the first option. Now the game should work.

If it’s still not working turn off your antivirus, Plus it could also be that you didn’t put on japanese locale."

I have done all of this, and followed the various suggestions on here. I'm on Windows 7 x64. When I click "yes" on the insert dvd window it just keeps coming back. I would really appreciate it if you could upload the iso, Admin.

I played the game whitout any issue but then ending chisaia route? credit off dont unlock the extra option in the menu screen... can some know why?

Is there a non-chan route here ?

First of all thanks for the game!
Second... I've tried to install the game on a W7 x64 bits VM and nothing, I've followed all the suggestions (Delete the config folder, move the game folder to C:Program Files(x86) before the patch, replace the new start.exe for the previous one, execute everything with administrative rights and even delete the internet shortcut) but the game keep asking for the dvd even if i select yes... for a hundred times.
Anyway... what i had to do was install a new W8 VM and follow the exact same method, this time... on my last try (replacing the start.exe) when it prompted asking for the dvd i select yes and voila it worked! i don't know why, i don't know how! but meh, anyway that "solve" my problem so thanks again!.

Hey guys. I just cant seem to download the file. I keep getting \The web page is not available, err_invalid_response\

This problem has happened for weeks already.

Please help. Thanks

could NOT get this game to start, kept getting the Insert DVD error... did a clean win 7 install on a VM and tried again and works perfect.

Tried everything. Turned antivirus off, moved the folder to Program Files (x86), deleted the empty config folder, replaced the start.exe with the one from the rar, dragged the dvd window outside the exe, yet I still can not get passed the insert dvd window. Even tried deleting the internet shortcut.

I am using Windows 7 x64. If you can help me, thank you in advance.

Is this an all-ages version? I played it through 2 routes, and no scenes, as well as nothing in the extras.

Heiya folks, If everything that has been recommended has failed like it did with me a viable solution (the one I found) was to dowload the Iso/Mds file (dunno if I can post links or not here so ill just say google is your friend, aint that hard to find) and load it up on daemon tools or the like, bit annoying since you have to have it loaded up to play but it works reasonably well enough.

idk why but its worked for me x.x

Not a single thing on this page is allowing my to bypass the dvd insert. not sure how all of your pc's are allowing it.. even tried converting to an ISO file and still no luck. fml help

To everyone who has problems starting the game:
1. Extract the files
2. Install the game
3. Run the patch
4. Now there will be most likely an erroe saying that you have to put in a disk
>close the window and start with "star.exe" and not with the applicant which has an image(this solved it for me)
>You have to set your locale to Japan!!!

Got it to work afte running and force closing 2 times .. it just worked..lol..

never mind, it seems that locale emulator doesn't work with KoiChoco :(

I'll just have to change the system locale everytime I run the VN
(can't set it on jap locale coz of reasons)

how do you get to non-chan route ?

I have literally tried every solution given to get this game to work and had no luck at all just get the DVD error message and no way around it

finally~
