You got a broken mod installed which is triggering DEP. Don't know which .exe mods you got installed but my guess would be DLPB's menu overhaul so try uninstalling that.
 
Yes, I see many of the DEP reports associated with cracked games. I wanted to make sure this wasn't the case, else we'd not be able to help.
 
I recall there being a DEP issue with the menu overhaul that wasn't fixed (as far as I know) in any of the new releases. I would not jump to the conclusion that its a pirated copy because of a DEP crash, plenty of other things could cause that.

Old versions of the menu overhaul did have a problem with DEP but i am pretty sure lusky fixed it in the lastest version.
 
Hopefully it is just the Menu Overhaul. There are solutions for other games with a DEP error / code C0005, so I was willing to give those a try.

I wasn't meaning to jump to a conclusion, but it had to be asked since the 2012 version was recently cracked.
 
My problem with videos seems to have been fixed. I think the issue was that I was leaving the bootloader open between games. Once I closed it out and re-opened it worked fine.
 
No, it's legit. Just bought it on Wednesday.

So... a (possible) DEP issue then, with the menu. I'll uninstall it when I get home from the FNM tournament I'm judging tonight.

Thanks for the input, guys! I certainly hope it is taken care of after that... But it would be a shame to not have the nicer menus.

Let us know if it changes anything. We can try a few things suggested for DEP errors also.
 
Well shoot. I haven't changed any settings or touched files and now when I start launch the game from the bootloader it loads as normal but almost immediately after it goes fullscreen it crashes to desktop without error. Ideas?

Doesn't look like anything changed. Still getting the same errors. :/

I'm going to go ahead and disable DEP for FF7.exe and the trainers.

And now it works!

Caveats: Cloud has no sword, and Barret looks like he has robot parts on his face.

But it works!

the game has been cracked since about 2 days after it's release
 
how to set up the program so that the menu during the fight was original (from FF7)?

I tried to download a cracked version over internet and I still have that "bug"
I did used "TakeownerShip" on my right click,
Runned without anymod, redownload all mods,
used Admin power and right click run as admin and no UAC at all :)

When you're picking your Bootleg options, go to the Overhaul tab and keep "FFX Battle Style" and "Felix Style Menu" unchecked.
 
Hey everyone involved with the project! Just want to say AMAZING job and thanks!

I have been using the mod for the past day now and after a few headaches I'm down to only 1 problem. Upon 1st install Cloud had no sword in battle (Millenia+Mike). So I just used Millenias custom sword installer to fix that. I thought the game was perfect until I got Aerith. Her weapons have no texture. It is not just the guard stick, I tested her out until the mythril staff. I've reinstalled it many times and am giving up hope.

Here are my PC specs:

   Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.120503-2030)
           Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: CLEVO                           
       System Model: P150HMx
               BIOS: BIOS Date: 08/09/11 13:55:50 Ver: 04.06.04
          Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
             Memory: 8192MB RAM

If you need any other specs, let me know how to grab them and I will post em ASAP.

Thanks again for everything!

EDIT: I'm also experiencing flickering faces on Aerith and Barret. I read this was fixed in an older bootlegger?

EDIT 2: Just found the 'solutions' in the other thread. Gonna try them out.
