Hey everyone

This is my first post. Probably not the only either. Well while browsing through the net i found this awesome concept of recreating FF7 on Pc, so i thought i'd give it a shot. Which led me here. After reading many posts, such problem has not been come across or explained. So here we go:
Game starts up fine. No drama with that. I start a new game, and the opening FMV begins. all seems well. At the end of the FMV when the train pulls up at the reactor, the screen blanks out. All i can hear is the sound effects of Jesse kicking the guard, the train doors opening, and Cloud jumping out of the train. The screen is completely blank. Now heres the weird part. After a few seconds, a textbox with the first line in the game, "C'mon newcomer, follow me." so i press space and go past that dialog box, only to see a blank screen again. I press the shift key, and the party menu pops up!
It seems that the blue boxes with all the info and text are showing up, but not the actual maps and characters.
Heres a list of the patches/mods i have installed.
-TrueMotion Codec
- AC Avatar Patch
- Official 1.02 patch
- and the Ficedula FF7 Music patch, which was installed via the Cetra patch.
I think the problem came from the last patch, as i am not sure Cetra installed the music patch correctly, but when i configure the FF7Music patch, i cannot configure the input box in the setup menu.
But what about the characters and maps?
Please help, i will be heartshattered to find that i won't be able to play my all time favourite classic

Any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated
BTW: i'm running Vista Home Premium
Thanks
