Yes, I did the maximum installation. And my computer can read them as far as I can tell. When I put in the CD, the drive changes from just E: to ff7_disk1 (E: or whatever the disk is called. The autorun menu DOES come up, but all I have to choose from is "play videos" or "make CD" or "take no action."

Are you saying if I tell it to play videos then it should start the game?
