Hi!
I've installed the PC version of FF7 and, after reading a lot of these posts and a lot of "Googling" in the net, and after installing some patches, it worked fine.
One day, a friend of mine said something about a XP Patch v1.4, that worked for him. I tried to get that for 2 reasons, althought the game was working:
1) Although I use and prefer Win 2000 Pro, I have to use the MS Windows Application Comaptibility Toolkit over FF7 to run it without problems. And he said that that patch works for the Win2K too...
2) When I go to the world map mode (outside the cities) it takes a lot of time to load all the scene, and to go to battle mode and return to the world mode again... (My HD works a lot at these times...)
So, I've downloaded and installed the Patch. FF7'd runned without need of the MS App Comp. Toolkit AND the world map has came out really fast, BUT (it always haves a BUT...
) the colors of the cursor, texts, gauges and menus were strange, a little gray (I can post later a screenshot, if you want). I've uninstalled the patch and everything became back to normal (the need of the MS App Adm Tool and the long long world map loading too...).
What I want to know is: There's any way that I can fix that issues?
Thanks in advance.
