There you go.
1) Installed patch 1.02
2) Disabled FFDshow's TruMotion decoder to avoid interference
3) Installed the FMV driver (http://aaronserv.dyndns.org/hosting/.../ff7betap1.zip)
4) Set Win98 compatability mode on ALL executables. That includes ff7, ff7config, even the cdcheck one.
The game then worked perfectly fine Smiley

Install Ubuntu. It won't help a bit, but you'll have a very cool OS.
Lol. Let us know if it worked.
And from now on, avoid Vista like the plague whenever you can. Bad bad bad bad for retro gamers.
Yeah, it was bad enough trying to get Grim Fandango to work on XP, let alone Vista!
By the way, when does the Vista service pack come out? I bet that'll make Vista pretty cool (like it did with XP).

1st Quater of 2008 is the official release date so we're looking at the end of 08 for a general release if we're lucky

If you use Windows in VirtualBox under Ubuntu, it might work nicely though
That's a possibility. XD
I've switched compatability mode, but when I try to install the patch, I get an error saying it's unable to identify the game executable, and do I want to try adaptive patching, which might corrupt my game files. Does anyone know what that's about?
Anyway, the compatability switch didn't do anything to improve the game. Cloud disappeared as soon as he reached the second room, and the game crashed when he met up with the rest of the team (which he did before he became visible again this time, because I ran into them before I got in a battle). Any other ideas?

He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Did you disable FFDshow? If you have enough computer's memory, it might be easier if you could install a VMware, install win98 in it, play FF7 in it whenever you want.
I just put xp on my vista system.
How do I go about disabling FFDshow?
And, yes, I believe I can install VMware, so that will probably be my final solution for this. ...Stupid Vista...

Well, I'm not sure if I'm right but I think it's part of the big codec package, if you do have that stuff. Uninstall it, re-install it but when you see each codec in the package during the installation, if you see FFDshow in there, disable that. If you don't have the package, try find it in Add/Remove window? Or somewhere else I don't know. If you don't have FFDshow then I don't know, yeah VMware might be the best choice but if you don't want to do that, ask for support on the QHIMM forums regarding your vista issues.
