Ff7 color problem (i think it's just texture actually)

[Xelane]

Hello all, this may have been covered but even after searching for about an hour here i could not find an answer so here i am with this problem.

see i just downloaded this AC mod which doesn't seem to like my computer. if i dont want wierd stuff like missing heads, clothing texture problems, and invisible bdy parts, i have to enable nvida with tnt...

problem is that when i do that all of the color for effects and text (talking text and menu text) becomes inverted in color. and if i DONT turn on nvida and tnt i get a good game BUt the characters are messed up...

i tried disabling 8-bit textures and no avail, i used the official ff7 a.02 patch which fixed text and backround but i can't enter any battles...it crashes before i even get the battle swirl...and yes i did use yamp to no avail

if it matters i have windows XP media center 2005 with omega drviers.

The most important thing here is that the field and color is fixed with the official patch but the game crashes when the battle swirl is supposed to occur
so there you have it...any help is appreciated


Edit: new thing, i had to use yamp on the official patch so now i can get into battle...but now victory fanfare ends with an error message when it's supposed to go to the results screen.

I know double posting is looked down upon but with all of the mess from the first post i sort of had no choice, also it has this issue where i cant see what i'm typin and it screws up sometimes...

anyway i fixed all of it but there is a small annoyance. If i exit the game by either selecting quit or ctr+alt+del'ing my way out, the processes still state that it is running. The reason that is annoying is because it looks like i get returned to my desktop but if i try to do anything it never works.

internet acts like it doesnt work
applications stop listening
etc.

I can end that by closing the process titled "ff7.exe" but i would rather figure out why and have it so that it doesn't keep doing that.

anyway thanks to anyone that would have helped, it took me hours to search these boards for enough info to fix this.

the game is also kinda slow to the point where it becomes annoying. it takes about 1.5-2X longer to get through anything, so any ideas on how to speed up gameplay would be great.

Ummm... clean install.  Followed by 1.02 patch.  Followed by Aali's driver.  Followed by install AC mod again. 

That's the best I can do
