ff7 crashes at the first scene

[htotheh]

i read the link you sent me, i downloaded Application Compatibility Update and Appliation Compatibility Tools and installed them, and then rebooted... i also downloaded the Unofficial Chocobo Patch, but when i choose ff7.exe and clicked on apply patch, and error message popped up saying patch cannot be applied...

edit: the game itself works PERFECTLY when im running it from QFixApp, but i just can't install the chocobo patch
