What in the hell was Eidos smoking when they ported ff7 to the pc? I get the same problem in xp that i get with 2000. The game locks up at the chocobo races. I emailed eidos tech support and all they could tell me is that they WILL NOT make any patches for 2000 or XP for existing games. Also, they said they would only provide support to 9x users because that's what the game was ported for. Then they added that it was microsoft's responsibility to provide compatibility, which i agree with, but microsoft doesn't give a rat's butt that we can't play ff7. The moral of this story: we are screwed.

full screen and quarter screen -crash. using the programs 95+98 compatibility properties -crash. using qfixapp on 95+98 modes -crash. Both software and hardware rendering -crash. (i have to use software, hardware divides everything in 2d levels into squares, is this squaresoft's idea of a joke?) beating my computer with a hammer -crash. My crash includes the screen going black, leaving the chocobo music playing + the windows cursor in the middle of the screen. Hitting enter closes the game and returns me to windows. This seems to always be the same result. my specs are: amd thunderbird 1ghz abit kt7 256mb ram matrox millenium G400 dual-head win xp pro "version 2600" Could somebody clue me in on the proper qfixapp settings, if any exist? I really miss playing this game and would hate to have to install 98 to play it again. Thanks.
