I checked my sister's laptop and made sure I have everything needed from there to my new computer, but it still won't open!

You brand new laptop may easily have RAM related issue...
How do you fix that?
Windows also has a built-in memory test that works pretty well, but also run memTest64 as well to check deeper.
Here's the link to MemTest64.
MemTest64 - Memory Stability Tester (techpowerup.com)
Let this run overnight for best results.

That didn't work...
I've just double checked EVERY code file that builds AssetX. Richedit is NOT mentioned in any of them.
We do use a "shell" command that depends on the target file extension but as far as I can see we've only used it for *.chm help files. Check your OpenWith list in Win11 for *.chm files.
And one more thing for you to check... Search the AssetX.INI file for "richedit".. You may have set it up as an external tool for AssetX. If so get rid of it. Just delete the line with it in. If it's in a numbered list, re-number and items that follow the richedit entry. The line numbers must have no gaps.. The AssetX.INI file is not overwritten during updates, so you may have an old tool entry.
I will not be doing any further updates to AssetX. The Delphi Compiler and code libraries for it are now over 20 years old and are 32 bit. My 64 bit Pascal compiler does not have the necessary libraries to build AssetX, and it's way too complicated to rewrite without the libraries .
The late Andi Smith was the brains behind AssetX, I just provided the Trainz related file decodes and the scripting software. Even so it took the pair of us almost two years to get it up and running. As I said it's extremely complicated.

OK it seems this can be due to
you should have riched32.dll or riched20.dll files on your PC, latest riched32.dll should be version 10.0.19041.1 in C:\Windows\system32 size 10kb, latest riched20.dll should be 5.31.23.1231 size 598kb. There are older versions in C:\Windows\sysWow64 and a couple of other places, however pretty sure you need the latest version in the System32 folder. If they are corrupted then SFC /scannow in an admin console should fix them.
If they are not the latest versions is your copy of Windows fully up to date? Check Windows update.
If that doesn't work you may be looking at re-installing Windows.

Bro, I know how to solve it. In Windows 11, go to Time & Language -> Language & Region -> Windows Display Language. There's an option for the language of non-Unicode programs. Change that to English (United States) and it will run normally. This is a language encoding issue, probably caused by the Chinese language encoding not being considered during the design process. It has nothing to do with memory, compatibility, or whether it's running in administrator mode.

It's normal to post in English in this section, google translate works well enough. I note the problem was previously solved though.
