Welcome to board,

Did you change your system while not playing FF7?

well.. i dunno

last time i played was on windows ME

now i have a new comp using windows XP

and i just read the topic about the animevamp hoax patch.. so i uninstalled that and installed just the chocobo patch from a site.

i havent retreid playing but when i have.. i'll tell you guys.

ok.. it did the same part in the crashing.. the area where you open the doors after you meet barret(naming him)

i luckily had a save from my previous install so i used that to put in the save slot.. it worked fine until i go to the part meetin gshinra president.. then it froze.. then exited me out..

can anyone help?

i think its just random glitches.. and i need that XP patch i think.. so if anyone has that can you give me a link for it? thanks.

You can try enabling "Windows 98/Me" compatibility mode for ff7.exe.

alrite did that.. did everything i knew of.. and same parts..

what im thinking the problem is.. is because the cd i had it was so scratched bad.. that the computer may not have read all the data or w/e and when i ripped it onto my computer.. the files were not all complete.. this may be why im having freezes.

i plan to do this:

a. d/l the cds off the interent.. see if they freeze too
or b. buy a new game cd

if they freeze while playing.. i think its just my comp then?

iono.. i have decent graphic card, memoroy: 512mb, 3.0 ht pentium and yeah :-x

thanks for all the help you guys given me.
