Try getting RivaTuner and enabling 8-bit palleted textures in order to run in hardware mode.

Final Fantasy 7 installs DirectShow (which contains a certain codec) to play back the movies. For some reason it doesn't install on Windows 2K and XP (I think it's already installed so it automatically skips the installation). For Windows XP you need to download the proper codec to view the movies.

I'll send the codec to your hotmail account. Just download it, unzip it and run the setup and it'll install the codec.

That's a known problem with FF7 and FSAA on GeForce 3/4 cards. I don't think there's anything you can do about it

Hey, good to see u enjoying it. The codec thing is the same with Crimson Skies. It's funny how a game published by Microsoft doesn't work in the latest Microsoft OS
