You mean it goes to a black screen for a few seconds and then returns you to your desktop?

I've seen this happen when you try and select a video mode that is not supported by your vid card or drivers.  Does the game run in software rendering mode?

Computer specs would be nice.

Graphics card, sound card, CPU speed, OS, etc.

The first step is to run the game in Softwaremode......

I don't know how you configured the FF7config.exe. But if you trying to get Hardwaremode working first, that's a mistake, for this port.

Off the record....I'd tell you to get ePSXe, learn how to use it....and get the PS version of FF7.

yeah well the FF7config wont open and i think that might be the problem since it automatically opens the first time you run the game.  I just dont know why it wont open and im getting really frustrated

I have problem with that too....
How i solve my problem is to tap the num pad enter repeatedly, and it will skip the movie. ;)

Download the Tntpatch and use that FF7config.exe file.....leave the FF7.exe file alone.

See if that works.
