Newbie Cant use PPF files

[Malroth]

I found this site on accident and was impressed enough by fft arena to immediately begin reading the tutorials in an attempt to start modding for myself. I got a copy of Epxe  and spent a couple days getting it working,  then obtained the Vanilla FFT Iso,   but when I attempted to run PPF-O-MATIC ver3  so that i could apply patches to it like the tutorial video I saw reccomended,  nothing happened the program wouldn't open and no new tasks appeared in my taskbar,  I tried searching the software companies offical site and using google search but coudn't find any refrence to the problem.

I'm running a 2G windows XP machine with japanese language support installed.

What I would Like is for someone to reccomend either another program I could use to apply the current FFT arena 1.3 patch or to tell me where I can find an already modified ISO.

hmm... so, the program refuses to even open? Does any error message appear? If something does appear, can you give me a screenshot?

I'm quite certain that running a machine in Japanese locale doesn't affect it, since my brother can use it perfectly, although he is on Windows 7.

Unfortunately, we can't supply prepatched ISO's, so that option is out.
