Tell us the name of your graphics card and what plugins you are using, plus, the setting for those plugins.
Then we could help you~

My next guess is that you've got a fecked up disk (IIRC an mdec happens next.) Your best chance is to post a memcard and have someone bypass that part for you. (BTW please state the language/region your copy is , eg US,Uk,french...)

[quasnero]

just wondering what kind of video card you have fo the record

[TalkingANUS]

Have you tried Pete's P.E.Op.S. plugin?
I had this problem but it was solved using this plugin. :D
