The little icon at the bottom shows up, but not the actual window-in short, it starts up completely normal except for the window that I have to use to see and play on, ahaha~
Actually, it's quite funny-if you hover over the icon on the toolbar, it'll show a small 'preview' screen as if you can 'restore it', but it won't let you. So, naturally, I've been playing 'let's play touhou without seeing where I'm going.' Fun times.
I've been deleting the cfg. file on the games, and it usually seems to fix the problem(with the downside of having to re-set the volume and the chance of it occurring again) . my question, though, is if there's a reason behind this? and has anyone else faced this problem to find a more permanent solution?
thanks guys! :'D

Reinstall the game, otherwise you're stuck with fullscreen. Don't know why this happens exactly.

SWR English is simply not loading. The mouse shows the "loading" animation, and I can run SWR Japnese just fine. It didn't even work when I reinstalled everything from the CD. I've got both th105.exe and th105e.exe running in XP SP3 compatibility and Administrator mode, and still nothing's working.
Momiji:
Are you sure the patch installer you have works okay? Try re-downloading and reinstalling it (from a fresh SWR installation).
Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin:
Yes, insofar as it's the exact same file that worked perfectly on XP. And I just went through reinstalling SWR and all its patches, so yes this is a fresh installation.
Momiji:
Try (re)installing DirectX 9.
