So to start with the only way i could even get ff8 to install was to move the install disc to the hard drive and install in safe mode. I'm not sure if that indicates bigger problems or not. Once i got it installed the only way it would recognize disc one is to copy the exe file into a "game" folder i made inside the install directory. When i run any configurator i download from theve to run th install directory it seems to work as far as game resolution and text resolution but it doesnt matter because i the start it from the game folder for it to recognize the disc. I've tried putting the launchers or configurators in the game folder in hopes the clicking play would make them use that exe file but the game wont even launch.
So in short the ONLY way i can run it is from a exe file in the game folder and it seems no matter what i do launchers and fixes only work from the main install directory.
