Quote: Hmmmm, It's highly doubtful that the filesystem had anything to do with it. I think so too. I didn't patch the game after I installed it, so that might be the reason.. Or maybe not..

Whoa! I'm not sure what I did right, but now it works! I installed FF7 on a FAT32 partition with standard install instead of maximum install. Then I started the game with Whistler Application Compatibility Toolkit(thanks, DosFreak!). *whistles a ff7 fanfare*

Quote: The problem seems to be that the compatibility mode doen't always work. Generally people who have succeeded in getting ff7 to work have done so by randomly uninstalling and reinstalling the Application Compatibility Update and the Application Compatibility toolkit until it finally decides to work. Sadly I haven't been able to pin it down to any one thing that causes it to happen (I tried a clean build of Win2k on a 2nd partition, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get FF7 to work, yet it works just fine on the other Win2k partition - never figured it out) Could this have something to do with the filesystem? My FF7 is currently installed on a NTFS partition. I don't think it will make any difference, but I'll try to run it from a FAT32 partition and see if it works..

Nope, I can't get it to work either. I've followed the instructions by Xiven and others, but the game crashes after the first battle(direct 3d-mode) or when the first battle starts(software mode). I think the reason might be my Detonator drivers, which are the latest available from nvidia.com. I hope you/we will work up a solution
