Ok... First off, I'd just like to thank all the multiple users on here who have helped me resolve a couple problems and at least get the game running a tad.
System Specs - p4
[email protected], Win2k SP3, Radeon 8500 (modded into 9100) catalyst 3.2 drivers. I never have problems running games but I just found my old copy of FF7 and would love to play it again.
Where the game crashes - after the movie when you blow up the first reactor at the very start of the game where you kneel down to help someone and then the tower starts to eletrify, it plays the movie then moves to the part where someone is setting up the bomb. A few words are said, then they all run back in prep for the bomb.
Thats when the game fades to black (I cant remember what happens after that) and my cd rom starts going haywire. I've got two cdrom's and i've tried with both with the same results. It will start trying to read the CD over and over, but nothing will happen. If I eject the CD my screen remains blank but I hear some explosion sounds in the background, however nothing happens - it just loops the sound with a black screen.
Again, i've tried everything for about the last 5 hours to get this blasted thing to work, from applying all the patches I could find to using the QFixApp (ACT) tool for Win2k on that one webpage. I've tried it.
So are there any win2k users out there with a radeon 8500 that have gotten this friggin game to work?
Right now all links and patches have basically lost all meaning to me, so I would greatly appriciate it if you have had this problem to tell me exactly what you did.
If you would like to email me any patches please use this following email address -

Thanks in advance.
