How come FF7 crashes in Windows XP after playing any movie?

Sys specs: AMD Athlon 900 MHZ, 256MB RAM and GeForce 4 MX (I know, old)

Define "crashes" please.
Does it give you any error?  Just lock up?  Dump you to the desktop?
It does this after a movie (not during or before)?
Have you installed the upside-down movie patch?

Can you play the movies manually through Windows Media Player?

Yeah. And in Winamp. And no, I have the retail version of the game, not a pirate version/Ultima version. I didnt install that AnimeVamp crap.

EDIT : It was FF7Music. If I install FF7Music, it crashes (at any part when there is music other than FMV's). Can someone help me please?

FF7music is rather unstable (on some systems more than others).  Try using different plug-ins maybe... I dunno.  I stopped using it b/c my game would crash every 15 mins. :P

Do you have version 1.10 of ficedulla.dll installed?  Thats the only version i've known to work with FF7Music.

Yep, version 1.10 of Ficedula.dll. If you install a wrong version of Ficedula.dll, you cant even start the game.
