That is a crummy video card.
From the log, it appears that you're trying to force the video card to do something it doesn't like.
You'll probably have to stick with the old driver like VGR suggested.
Why are you so opposed to doing a clean install?
At least try to install things properly and get the game working before further modifying.
If you insist upon using outdated and broken tools, you should expect a few problems.
 
Hi DestroGalacticmon,

after your update to version 0.7.11b did you start "FF7Config.exe" and choose the custom driver again ?

Might this help:

window_size_x   = 1280
window_size_y   = 960  / 800
preserve_aspect = yes
fullscreen      = yes
enable_vsync    = yes
use_pbo         = no


Edit:
use_shaders       = no
compress_textures = no

You need latest 7zip to open it :)  uses ultra compression from latest.

And the game crashed completely when I opened magic. I am not sure if related to driver....  looks like it since I cannot reproduce.
 
I don't know.  I just said that in  the above post

I am not sure if related to driver
Click to expand...
but I cannot reproduce the bug so the only hope is that crash dump.
 
Much better.

The game tried to use palette #16 from usfont_a_l which only has 16 palettes (0-15).
I will add some code to prevent things like that from crashing the game but there's obviously something wrong with your .exe.
 
Nope, by the time it reaches the driver its just a list of palettes, no realistic way to tell where it came from.
 
kay...

my mini games are running way to fast, and the frame limiters in aali's driver dont appear to be working, when I start the bike game it flashes up something like vsync appears to be forced on... and it disappears to fast to read the rest, I neglected to read the entire thread, so just point me in the right direction if I've missed the answer

cheers

edit

oops, just saw the giant sign on the first post, where do I find my config and app log files?

Hi crackinglazer,

the config file "ff7_opengl.cfg" and the "APP.LOG" file can be found in your FF7 main directory.

Standard installation directory:

   Windows 32 bit: C:\Program Files\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII
   Windows 64 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Square Soft, Inc\Final Fantasy VII

When you use an older version of FF7Music or you are not using the FF7Music-Launcher
"launchff7.exe" you find the "APP.LOG" file here:

   [FF7 main directory]\FF7Music

If you are posting this files, please use the # button and put the text between the ][.

you do meen type no where it says "use_shaders =" in the config?
if so that didn't work
 
@crackinglazer: Need more information for analysis.
                          I hope you installed the english version of FF7 with Maximum.
                          Which mods did you install and in which order ?
                          Are you using the Bootleg installer ?

Please be so kind and change your long posting as i had written to you.

   Hit the Modify button of your posting

   Hit the # button
   Now you see this [ code ][/code ]   (i have added some spaces)
   Put the data of your "ff7_opengl.cfg" file between ][

   Hit the # button again
   Now you see this [ code ][/code ]   (i have added some spaces)
   Put the data of your "APP.LOG" file between ][

   Hit the Preview button
   Voila, looks better


Edit: I looked at your postings, i would suggest you use the Bootleg installer
        without the  "Team Avalanche HR" option. Because your system could
        be overloaded with this HighRes mod (especially your graphics card).
