I've posted the topic about the problem with Nvidia patch a few days ago, but I've got another problem as well. :weep:

No matter what mode I play(D3D & Software renderer), my game often freezes after a battle. Exactly speaking, after receiving EXP, item, money things.

My computer gives me a dialogue box showing application error with ff7.exe.(It shows : version 0.0.0.0, the module that has error winmm.dll, version 5.1.2600.0, error address 0x00018464)

data : byte

These things are relly complicated for me cuz I'm not good at stuffs like programming.
I've done much in the game without saving cuz I didn't find save point, but It just froze suddenly. So I have to play that bit again. That's really annoying :weep:

Anyone can help me? please

P.S. I use Windows XP.

Well, all I can say is it's definately a problem with the old-style WinMM. Have you tried to twiddle with some of the emulation options for FF7?

Heh, you might be able to get a different winmm.dll (like... a Windows 98 one) and try that. If you don't wanna overwrite your current one, I think you can stick one in the FF7 folder and it'll use that instead (apps often look for a .dll in their folder, and if its not their, in the Windows\system or Windows\system32 folder). If you do replace your winmm.dll, be sure to back your current one up.

You can find dlls and stuff on P2P file sharing utilities, like KaZaA (actually, I use it to find dlls and other little files like that quite often

), and check their version by Right-click -> properties, I think.

Just a thought. Dunno if it'll work or not.

Thanks for telling me that.
It might help me. I'll try it right now.

By the way, what's URL of the website where I can get things like dll files?
