K Here is windowed mode...
Didn't know exactly how much you'd need. I know you said first 10 lines, but figured I'd show what I had.

Anything jumping out at ya? I don't see any differences between them. I didn't change the resolution any. My desktops native resoultion right now is 1920x1080, but I left it at 1280x720 because I tend to record my videos in 720p for youtube. All I change is whether fullscreen = yes/no. As soon as I go into windowed mode, game feels like it's running at half the frames it should be. Very strange.
Running Windows 7 64 with FF7s exe in XP SP2 comp. mode. Didn't know if it would make a difference so I changed it and just left it. Makes no difference. Would you have any idea why on windows 7, when FF7 is running, it feels like the game is just running in the background even when viewing it? Like it's not like a normal program is. If I goto record the game running in fullscreen, it records nothing for some reason. It doesn't register it as being the main program running on my screen when it should be. I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. Example would be that my screensaver would kick on while playing the game fullscreen every 15 minutes like it should because the system thought I was idle, yet I was definitely making tons of keystrokes, etc. It's almost as if when the game is running, windows has no idea it actually is. I don't get it. Is this just how it is for everyone? I don't remember it being this way on my older computers. I've had my copy for like 7 years but the discs were so badly scratched I made them images so I wouldn't have to worry about it should I ever wanted to play again. Maybe it did act like this, and I just don't remember. I mean, if I could figure this out, I wouldn't need windowed mode, but I'm trying to capture recordings, and it won't pick it up unless im running windowed and I tell my recording software what part of the screen I want to be recorded. Then it records great, but again - slowdown. Can't win honestly.
Edit: I'm only logging in for about 10 seconds, taking a few steps, then quitting to desktop and taking the app from doing that. If for some reason you need me to be in-game longer, let me know and I can do that. You be the expert
UPDATE: Went into the config, and just for kicks decided to turn OFF vsync, and as I suspected, game runs fine. BUT -- I lose my battle-swirl(Obviously way too fast) and some bits just feel sped up. That's tolerable, I mean..not having a battle swirl, but I know others have recorded the game just fine with this driver running. Then again that was with fraps most likely, and I just don't want to run fraps unless absolutely necessary. Sure, I have 1TB of space available, but I hate splicing together clips in movie maker. I use bandicam(look it up if you've never used it) and it shares many features with fraps, plus many more. Quality is identical. File-size is also smaller to some degree. Usually. I bet that's gonna break the mini-games too though if I leave that off. Bout to give up the ghost on this lol.
