Hey guys, ive seen these wonderfull ways to improve ff7, but it seems im not good at doing it.
I have hp laptop with 3.2 ghz processor, 512 Ram, and ATI mobility radeon 9000 IGP chipset.
After installing ff7, using 1.02 patch, installing "ff7_opengl-0.7.11b" (and a laptop keyboard patch) i never seem to get the game to work fully. If i were to pick 1200X800 or less i wont play the intro movies and will get me into unmodified start meniu (with new game and continoue options). I have tried using team avalanche's graphic overhaul low res and then the while starting the game, a message poped out, saying "no useful indirect path found. check APP for more information". I did check it and check it and thats what was written in it:

So my question would be, is there a posibility to improve ff7's graphics on my pc, and if yes, how could i do it?
