Hi @ all!
i need help. I dont know what is wrong with me. i have searched this forum to resolve my problem and google have no answer too.
i have all done. i have installed an old pc p4 1,5 512 mb ram with win98 and ff7 patch 1.02 but it dont work. so i tried to installed the game
on my pc witz win xp. but it dont worked too. so now my pc is a  "P4 3,2 ghz 2gb ram 500gb hdd 8800GT 256mb" forceware 180 XP SP3.

i have installes ff7. then i installed k-light full, then the motion patch, then i disabled the true motion in k-light.
after this i have tried to start the ff7 version 1.00 with software render and all worked well

so i downloaded the 1.02 tnt patch and installes it. now i have activate the nvidia tnt option and 640x480 full screen
and ff7 wont start any more. i doble click it and the screen goes black for 1 sec and then it go back to desktop.

i have been tried to fix this problem for more than two weeks but i can't find any solution.
i hope for your help.

P.S. this problem i have with all operating systems and different pc's. i have tried this with win98 / ME / 2000 / xp / Vista.
i have a orig ff7 version not a downloaded one.


Edit: !!!! IMPORTANT!!!!! So i tried to install the 1.02g patch for german lanuage and after that the game worked well. BUT
so i am very happy and i want to install the high res patch now but i cant install this patch omg its a nerver ending story.......
the high res patch says "Wrong Filesize" how can i fix this now.

What's the language of your copy of FF7? HiRes patch will only apply to 1.02 English ff7.exe.

hmm ok. i have the german version. do you know how i can fix this?
i have heard that i can rename some files in the ff7 folder so that the game think its the englich version.
some files have gm in filename.

I think so, yes.
