When I go to the observatory in Cosmo Canyon, the movie plays but after the shooting star part, the game freezes. Tifa's eyes are still blinking but I can't control any of my charactars. I tried the solutions on the eidos FAQ but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions? If not, if anyone is kind enough to get past this part for me this is the link, http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1L2C39I18M3VH073EE6YWLVBMN If you can get past that part, please send it to [email protected]

Oh yeah, I was training because I didn't know what else to do, but after I found out I had to send it to someone to pass it I stopped. And thanks you really saved me there. This is the first time I have played Final Fantasy VII, I have never beaten the game.

Edit: Wow it actually works too I'm so happy I finally get to play this game. Thanks!

I do have one question for you ajrock2000, how did you get past that place without it freezing? This might help me in the future if I ever start a new game or whatever, but you don't have to tell me.

Some people encounter the crash and others don't. I think that some work is going into creating a fix for this problem if you search the boards

To tell you the truth I dont really know why.

It just doesnt crash for me. My settings are 1.02 patch with the Nvidia check box unchecked using D3D. Enjoy FF7, you will love it if this is your first time!

No one is figuring it out at this forum, that I know of....

Everyone who could possible figure it out....doesn't have this problem.
Go figure.

I bet it's mainly because the people who mess with computers, build their own. I bet everyone who has this problem are on manufactured PC's.

Most likely it's due to some 3rd party source.... Something like Realplayer (except, it's not Realplayer that's causing it....I have Realplayer installed on my machine and don't have that crash).

It may even be the disks themselves. I guess one way to prove that theory is for someone....(like me or that guy that got you thru) to upload that shooting star AVI. and then for you to do the copy movies from harddrive trick....and substitute my avi for yours. If it doesn't crash...then it's the disk. Bad batch of manufacted prints or something, that more than a few people got unlucky enough, to get.

The question is....are you willing to kiss and tell? IF not....well, there's your answer towards finding a solution.... No one wants to do it. Those that don't have the problem don't care....and those that do....don't care enough. (I guess).

Look here. Mainly at the last post. Looks like the problem is a bad file. Probably... Or maybe a movie which is too exhaustive for a CD-ROM/CPU to read/process (UDMA not enabled? Overheating?)?

I've found a person which is kind enough and could provide me with a memory status when crash occurs. Then I'll be able to eliminate some possibilities.

It was one conclusion that Eidos looked into...but the solution as the gave it...didn't work for just about everyone I talked to. So, I doubt it's a Cd-rom problem.

Fraid not, I used the game on two prebuilds (P300 64meg ram - Ragepro2 and a P4 2.6 512 Ram with a Radeon 9600) And it was fine, no crashes. Then we have my prebuild, also no crashes

....

Do you have the problem?
I said, "I bet all the people who have the problem...."

I used to have a Packard Bell 200MMX when this game came out, with a self-installed, Voodoo 2 card and a SBlive value card. And I had no problems, if that's the point you were trying to make. I wasn't jesting/betting, that all pre-builts had the problem.

I'm guessing it's related to an intergrated motherboard thing. Most people who make gaming PC's, don't use onboard sound, or video.
