FF8 PC post-patch BIG problem

[kibbler]

I haven't played FF8 in a long time (due to graphic issues, put me off), but with the nvidia 28.32, graphics are perfect with the patch!  

However, there is a big problem.  Near the end of disc 3, when you have to fly the ragnarok into the black pandora tower whatnot, you can't!!  I uninstalled, went back to the unpatched version, and the game jumps into the fmv sequences like its supposed to (even tho the graphics are messed up).  After patching, the ragnarok just stops in front of the pandora tower.  Anyone have this problem before?   Is there a workaround?  Thanx

well.....

1) Your CD could be scratched.
2) Are you running XP? that would probably do it.....

I don't think it is the FF8 patch problem. I think you must have done something wrong. After speaking to Laguna, he will tell you to crash into Lunatic Pandora (as we know).
Ok, you cannot just go in and ram into the Pandora without talking to Selphie (the pilot) first.
Probably that's it. Or try hitting the Pandora and go into the Ragnarok and speak to Selphie.
I might be wrong.......

Edit -
I didn't read your post properly.
I know what is the problem now ^_^.
You crash into the thing <PANDORA>, (and it shows the fmv as you've said)
It will show you the ragnarok stopping in front of the tower. Press 'D' or was it W? and go inside the ragnarok. Go down the elevator, walk right and you should realise that the door is open now. Done.
