hmm. knowing someone else is getting this kind of crash, too, helps.
I seem to be getting the same App.log, but i dont get as many lines about sound at the end

I have it set to run privileged, so i doubt its a uac thing.
I know FF7 and mods work on my PC/Graphics set, cause i have the Steam version working fine.
Addendum: i copied the ff7input.cfg from the Steam version and i still get the same looking crash, and the app.log is the same, only the ERROR line is not there.
