I have the PC version, but it crashes on every computer I try to play it on, from our family's old Pentium 2 to a brand new Dell Inspiron 5150. Randomly, at the start of or during battles, it freezes up and the whole computer stops responding, requiring a restart. Anyone else experience this?

Anyways, I figure I'll throw this in here, rather than starting a new topic. I admittedly don't know the first thing about video cards, having only recently finally purchased a machine worthy of the name "computer". Could anyone who is much more in the know, as you all seem to be, help me tweak ePSXe to play FF7 on my machine. I've tried the Kazzuya or whatever that came with it, as well as Pete's openGL 1.36... too fast (Aris sprints acrosss the street, and the camera/music goes nuts in the opening cinematic). On the other hand, Pete's OpenGL 2.5 slows it to a crawl. on all of them, the menus have been jumbled and there's random stuff on the screen in the cinematic.

My specs are as follows:
Dell Inspiron 5150
2.66 Ghz Pentium 4
NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32 MB
512MB RAM

and i'm using the bios 1001, if it helps.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
