Hi, I just got FFVII for the PC a few days ago, and so far, I haven't been able to play any of it.

I searched on the internet for some ways to fix my problems, but unfortunately, none of them have worked so far. I hope you guys can help me solve my problem.
Basically, After I start up FFVII, the opening FMV plays, and reaches the train part. After that, the screen goes black and the message "C'mon newcomer, follow me." pops up. After I press enter, the screen goes black and nothing happens. Any ideas?
I've downloaded the 1.02 patch, the chocbo racing patch, tried running my game in quarter screen mode, tried using the Windows XP compatability wizard, downloaded the new windows media player codecs, but none of these methods seem to work. I hope you guys can help me with my problem.
If it helps, here is my laptop's information as written on it.....

Please try your best to help me! Thanks!
