Remember, this is a fairly old game, so the keys to move the sursor are the arrow keys on the numpad. Now about the black screen, i found that if i didnt install the DirectShow drivers included on the cd, and just installed the upside down movie patch, the movies work and everything is fine and dandy. The upside down movie patch can be found on eidos's server, or my server: http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7betap1.exe. Hope this helps you in your problems.

Is this the first time that the message has come up like that? Try installing another program or game. If the same message comes up again, you may have a damaged autoexec.nt, command.com, or config.nt files. No biggie, happened to me before. All you need to do is go to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767, and follow the instructions. I found that the way that worked for me is to copy the text into notepad and create the file from scratch. Hope this helps your problem, if this is the problem x).

I'm not sure this will work for everyone, but it worked very well for me. Now happily playing Final Fantasy 7:D --------------------------------------------------------------- Specs. pIII 600mhz 512mb Ram 9550 Sapphire Radeon 128mb --------------------------------------------------------------- Now to address the problem... *************************************************************** Problem: Starting up the game, there is a black screen and no sound. Pressing buttons makes us go to the Continue/New Game screen. Solution: Installed fresh(Do NOT install DirectShow drivers), applied 1.02 patch http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7102zx.zip, appplied upside down movie patch http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7betap1.exe, and for later on in the game, just incase the game freezes on the chocobo races, applied the chocobo patch http://rpghaven.uni.cc/goldfinger/ff7/ff7_chocobo_patch.zip *************************************************************** Well, i hope this helped you, and if it did not, feel free to e-mail mne at Gamergod.Gold@gmail.com with the subject Final Fantasy VII or something along the lines of that.
