WHen you run ISO's are you loading them all at once or one at a time. For some reason FF doesn't like to run with all of it's discs in drives. Just a suggestion.

its also not really necessary to mount the discs once you install the game. Simply renaming you C: drive to FF7DISC1 is enough to fool the game into playing. Just make sure you modify the registry to look at your C: drive for the CD. Simply change it to FF7DISC2 whenever you need to swap in the next one, and so on. It's the simplest way to swap discs if you dont want a drive emulator running inthe background.

Oh wait, You load them all at once? Well thar's yer problem.

For some reason, in order to Play FFVII, you must mount the disk image onto the same drive as the install disk was. Like, lets say you mounted the install disk on E:, when you go to play the game, you must mount disk 1, 2, or 3 on drive E:

I don't know why it does this, but I had the same problem. Try it and see if it works.

It's looking at the drive letter mentioned in the registry.
 
Im not loading them all at once x.x, I am mounting them via clone drive one at a time. The issue is the install wont work x.x It keeps going to my normal screen after i click install.
Alright got my install to work by safemoding and having all the install disc files on my computer. Now I have to figure out how to get the games to run since the game was installed via a folder on my desktop.

Try also running the game in compatibility mode. In XP just right click and set it in windows 98. For vista I don't know. Google it. :)
 
I am running it in compatability mode 95 on vista. But it still wont work. I am starting to think that my friend gave me a broken game cause the FMVs wont play.
 
The game wasn't made for windows 95 (It was >.<), So why would that be your choice in compatibility mode? XP should run it fine. SP2 or 3 would probably be best. Always works for me  :D

Edit: I'm wrong. Don't listen to the nonsense constantly spewing out of my mouth! >.<

Actually it was made for windows 95.
 
ok your running vista right ? first disable UAC if its enabled and reinstall the game if required (since if UAC is enabled it may have left some game files in the virtual store folder so i recommend reinstalling),
then install Aali's Custom driver 0.7.8 and that should fix the problem with the movies (the reason the movies are not playing is most likley because you dont have truemotion codec installed but Aali's driver eliminates the need for it) or if you dont want to use Aali's driver just install the true moition codec and that should hopefully fix the problem with the movies.
 
I'll say what I've always said: the most elegant way of dealing with FFVII on PC is simply to run it via a virtual machine.
 
I want to thank you all for putting up with me, and I forgot to add it here but i am now able to play the game. Using the PRP,Team Av, FFmusic, Aali's custom, and the apz freak cloud. Until a new or better one comes out.

-looking forward to a Dress Cloud/girl cloud battle model xD-
 
I think APZ cloud model is still in the Remix patch. Probably won't be for long.
 
I got it from a different site that has the APz cloud. I wont say what one, because it was taken down from here.
 
just wait a little bit the TA cloud is nicer then APZ's and 100% not stolen!
 
Yeah I am waitng for that one, more so waiting for their whole main cast pack xD
