Huge Materia train won't stop

[Anonymous]

I'm having a little problem.
During the HUge Materia mission, it's impossible `to stop the train after it leaves the reactor. I can work the handles of the first train (to catch up with the other train. I have slain all the enemies, and butchered the driver. But after that you are supposed to use the controls to stop the train (I have like 7 minutes left of something ( thanks quad + comet )), but the conrtols won't move, or do anything.

I'm on XP (patched)
radeon 9500 Pro
PIV 2.8
no controler, just the keyboard

after patching it all works fine up till now (used to have win2000 hell before)

I  cannot sto pthe train, and will have to miss the materia that I get if I stopped it from destroying B's hometown.

any1 got a clue what to do¿

well

Spoiler: show

You have to use the UP and Menu button at same time, then the DOWN and OK button at the same time, after that cid will just go mess around and the train will stop.

Also try to tell what u did exactly cause pressing random buttons won't work.

What mode are you running in? Software or Hardware? I found major issues with the train part while running in software and a lot of the time I failed that part because of it. Running in Hardware mode seems a lot better for me.

software mode --> software renderer
hardware mode --> direct3d hardware
