hi people!
some years ago i played final fantasy 7 in my pentium-166 win98, and enjoyed it very much, is one of the best game i ever played...
now, with an athlon xp 2600, half giga of ram, a radeon video card, i was thinking: will be good to play ff7 again, now veeeeery fast...
but my windows 2000 don't liked ff7 too much... the game starts very fast, i enter the first battle, but the game ends during my first attack...
i'd already tried animevamp's patch, riva patch, application compatibility mode, but none worked...
my system:
windows 2000 sp4
directx 9
radeon 9200se, drivers up to date
sound card cmmi8330, drivers ok

any help?

Maybe try upgrading to XP (if you can)? Also, make sure you are not on a limited account.

Other than that, I'm not sure.

no, i don't like xp...
i am admin on my pc, and ff7 doesn't run... maybe i get the psx version and run on emulator...

Why don't you try to emulate a slower PC. There were few programs I remember. Try to search for them in sites for old DOS games.

windows 2000 is the problem, not the speed of my computer... I am thinking in buying a small (10gb) hdd, installing a good old win98 and dualbooting... no, not dualbooting... i will have a win2k-win98-openbsd-linux quadbooting menu!
