Archive / winmm.dll error Please Help :(

« on: 2006-06-02 19:01:23 »

Hey all

Im about 55 hours into the game, ive reached disc 3, im just messing around at the battle square at the mo to get w-summon.

ANYWAYS

Ive got a little problem, and its irritating the hell outta me, and i dunno how to fix it. I know people have posted about this before, but from searching these forums, im yet to find anyone who can solve it.

Basically, at the end of random battles, just as the fanfare music would begin, my screen cuts to black for a few seconds, and then goes to the desktop where i get an error in "winmm.dll"

It happens quite regularly now, alot more than it used to. It has happened once at the chocobo races, and its now beginning to happen in battle square, when it never used to.

Is there a cure for this little error, I want to make the most out of the game, but i cant if i keep having stupid random crashes after most battles.

My specs are:

Windows XP Home SP2
AMD Athlon XP3200+ Barton 2.2ghz
1024mb pc3200 ddr400 corsair
nVidia Geforce 6800LE 128mb
120gb HDD
MSI K7N2 nForce2 400mhz mobo


During disc 1 and the beginning of disc 2, i got the crashes, but not very often. Recently though, during the majority of disc 2 and now on disc 3, im getting them more frequently.

Its wierd because, I never used to get these crashes at battle square, I got 32000 and got omnislash by fighting about 15 to 20 battles and it didnt crash once. Now im after w-summon, its crashing almost everytime with this winmm.dll

I tried replacing the file, but everytime i tried it just said "file in use"

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers all

Archive / FF7 Fresh install, legit, a little help on patching please:)

« on: 2005-09-19 00:06:22 »

hey all, just got a legit copy of ff7 from a friend who had it who dont play it no more, woohoooo, so lucky. i played in on ps but my ps broke, now i get to play it again on pc (im on the pc more than consoles anyways)

anyways, i have a few questions regarding getting the best out of FF7 on the pc.

ive downloaded numerous patches, which should i install.

I would like to have PSX music and not midi's but im unsure as to whether i can have this ASWELL AS the high-res graphics ?

If so what order shall i install the patches ? I tried installing hi res using the multi-patch thing and it worked. if i tried it using the seperate stand-alone high res patch, it wouldnt, said a cr2 error ? is this cuz ive installed other patches?

i had some errors and couldnt get what i wanted, so ive uninstalled and installed again, and i will install the patches once i get feedback from you all here.

So.....

1: Fresh Install
2: Official Patch ?
3: Win XP Patch ?
4: high res patch ?
5: High Res Cloud Model Patch ?
6: Chocobo Patch ?
7: Other patch here ?


Which order shall i install them in? ive seen numerous posts here, all seem different and confusing.

Sorry to post this if its been answered before, im just a huge fan of the game, and seeing as advent children is on the horizon, id like to finish the game once more so i understand the movie better.

Thankyou kindly

Steve
