Error code 51

I got the game for free in february 2024 and finally decided to mess around in it but I can't even start it... Whenever I try to open it it says "Unable to launch the game RPG Maker XP (error code 51). I've been googling around, tried everything, including verifying files, running steam as an administrator, resetting the steam and PC, I've even reinstalled the game multiple times and steam as well - nothing seems to work. I'm not using any VPNs and I swear to god I have no idea why it won't open. When I first got this game it was working as it supposed to, now I can't even start it... Even tried turning off the firewall and windows defender but again, NOTHING seems to work.

Was the game actually given out for free or was it some sort of free trial? If not, how the heck do I fix it? I'm running out of ideas and I really want to play it TwT

Yes, this software was actually given for free, it was not a trial.
Afraid I can't help you with the error beyond what I'm able to google. Have you tried solution 4 (updating graphic drivers) and 5 (change the configuration) from this website yet?

I've tried those too but didn't work. I've figured it out tho, turns out simply turning off SurfSharkVPN was not enough, I had to totally uninstall it and now it works. Thanks for the list, it helped me figure it out.
