FF7 Crashing after installing Reunion/Menu Overhaul

[ff7master]

I've installed those mods, then the latest Aali's driver, but the game crashes before the Eidos movie.
The app.log gives an unhandled exception error, and the FF7 Config fails to load the driver.
I hadn't this issue before installing Reunion/Menu Overhaul. I installed Reunion b/c the new driver had a black box covering the battle menu, and then tried Menu Overhaul after Reunion. Maybe I messed up the game files with thses two mods?

MO is included in The Reunion, so installing them separately is not necessary. I think to rid the black box, you need to increase the texture cache to 512 or 1024? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I've tried increasing the cache size but it didn't work for me. And it crashed after I installed MO over The Reunion.

Edit: The game doesn't crash if I start it with the FF7 Music, but since I'm using 7th Heaven, I'd like to use the Anxious Heart music files without crashing the game, since FF7Music doesn't work with 7th Heaven.

FF7 music doesn't work with Aali's new driver (or it is mostly not needed for the driver), it works with 7th Heaven but it seems that they don't work so well with each other and FF7 Music starts to lag when huge mods are loaded in 7.H.
Aali's new driver doesn't support the old MO anymore so you have to use the Reunion only! If the game crashes right on start up, check if the right soundcard is selected in ff7config.exe.

I've checked ff7config.exe, and the soundcard selection is ok, I've installed AH but it doesn't seem to work over FF7Music.
I've also checked the ff7_opengl.cfg to use the vgmstream_music.fgp.

My suggestion is to start over completely. Don't install any MO version other than from within the Reunion installer. Don't install/use FF7Music. Install the latest AH in conjunction with using Aali's 0.8.1b.

It's stated several times in several areas not to mix any MO installers together... especially the much older and newer.  It pretty much has to be on clean files.  This won't be as big an issue in future.
