First you say it crashes, then you say it freezes... make up your mind.

Downgrade video drivers to 163.75 or lower.

You double posted just to write double post?
To downgrade drivers, just uninstall the new ones, and install the old ones.  Simple as.

Timestamps say the opposite.

What are your computer specs (CPU / GPU / OS)?

Ok I believe you, mainly because I can't be bothered arguing, it's too late.
Did you actually try the old drivers then?

And the specs dzuigo asked for...?

I also just noted you use the XP patch.  Advice, uninstall it.

Hi Fenga,

Back catalogue of drivers

ATi
http://downloads.guru3d.com/Videocards---ATI-Catalyst-Windows-Vista_c31.html

Nvidia GeForce
http://downloads.guru3d.com/Videocards---NVIDIA-ForceWare-Vista_c32.html

At the bottom of each page you click "next page" to get to the older drivers

And yeah, don't use the XP patch, uninstall it, then install 1.02. If this doesnt sort it out, make a copy of your save folder (C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII\save) on your desktop, and simply re-install the game and put ur save folder back in the right place. Then just patch with 1.02 and whatever other custom patches u want.

I found these pages very useful when getting bugs in ff7
