I've just installed FF7 on my Laptop which is Vista (Yes I know Vista doesn't run a lot of stuff)
Well when i go to play it i get passed the intro and then the screen goes black but the game still runs. When i get into the first battle everything goes back to normal and then when it finishes the maps and characters come back. when i exit to the next screen i have no characters until after battle.
And also when after the intro there is no music. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
Also I get no error message and nothing crashes.

Just grasping after straws :D turned on compability mode for win 95/98?

Nope, same thing happens, in all compatibility modes! :/

If it's a legit copy, it should work fine. I run FF7 on a Vista laptop, and have no troubles. The only problems I sometimes have is random crashes, but there far enough inbetween to make sure you've recently saved. Also sometimes there's some trouble with the mods. The PRP works on my XP desktop, but not at all on my laptop.
Have you tried just re-installing fresh? Maybe you installed something that corrupted the program file? A wayward mod perhaps?

Uninstall K-lite and install Combined Community Codec pack.
Problem solved.
What your problem is that movies that integrate the character models don't work. Uninstalling k-lite (and installing CCCP to get normal codecs) will fix your problem. Trust me.

I also run Vista on a Laptop(Dell XPS ftw),
The intro not having music happened to me also, but it reverts back once you get into your first battle. So dont worry about this one too much.
Now when you say next screen i assume your refering to when you get to name Cloud? When you say you have no chars after battle what exactly do you mean >.>?

Sounds like the problem might lie in the discs your using(assuming your using a legit copy :P). Either take auxlii's advice with the codecs, no on map chars might be issues with your field folder as well.
Before you uninstall it, make sure you delete your data folder because an uninstallation usually dpesnt delete these folders, if your computer restricts it, which it probably will since you use Vista open your data folder, and delete all of your files. Try again ;). Report back for anymore problems.
