go to
http://www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html and download the free version for individual users. Install it and then go to the final fantasy VII configuration settings. Under the music tab (i think), instead of using the MS midi player, select the loopbe. Then, click apply and all that. Then, in the lower right hand corner, there is now an icon for the driver you just installed. Right click on it and then click "mute". If you're using FF7music, you have to adjust the settings so that the midi device used with that is the loopde. Then, all you hear is the FF7music program's music and the sound effects!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! Spread the word, I finally beat stupid MF'in Vista!!!
