Is it possible that it's a resolution problem? Wait!
I've got an idea. In some PC versions of FFVII there was a serious problem in that chocobo racing cuased the program to crash. If I'm not mistaken, the next scene in the game after that is a Chocobo race, no? Never fear, there is a patch you can get to fix it. I just don't know where.
EDIT: It's Here.
