Did you install the RPG Maker VX Ace RTP files? They're needed to run this.
It works now. Thank you, and sorry for the rant. However, I am unable to use my mouse to point and click, and can only use the directional keys/enter button to navigate the options being displayed on the screen. I'm assuming that's normal..? Also, I don't know how to save the game, for none of my keys are letting me proceed beyond just the highlighting.
