I'm guessing it could be one of the Visual C++ Runtimes since FF7 & FF7Config requires one of them, or the .NET Framework 2.0 is corrupt .

After reproducing the error try the following:

    1. Right Click my Computer
    2. Click Manage
    3. Navigate to Event Viewer -> Windows Logs - > Application
    4. Check which DLL created the error.
    5. Google the DLL to find out which Runtime Package needs to be reinstalled.
    6. Login as the real Administrator, the user is actually called "Administrator" (by default in Vista and Win7 it is disabled).
      To enable the Admistrator
         a. Right Click My computer
         b. Click Manage.
         c. Navigate to Local Users & Groups -> Users
         d. Activate the "Administrator" by changing it's properties, and set a password by right clicking the user
         e. Restart and login as the Administrator
    7. Download and Reinstall the Runtime Package.
    8. Restart and login as your normal User

I just recently had the FF7Config.exe crash on me, and I can confirm that this method works. I couple things I want to note though.

1) When you find the DLL error in step 4, you can perform a Google search to download the single file. I was able to with mine, and it saved a little time not having to install a Runtime Package.

2) The Windows log tells you the folder where the DLL error occurred. Before you go to paste your file in that folder, you need to right-click Properties and uncheck Read-Only for the folder and all its files. You also need to cut/paste the old file you are replacing into another safe place, and use it as your back-up. Regardless of all the Administrator privileges given, it wouldn't ever allow me to copy over an already existing file.
 
I did that.  It still says i dont have permission to change or delete the file.  Im running as admin.  Im even opening "Windows Explorer" as admin. I have reinstalled Aali's custom drivers as well and still get the "ff7config.exe not responding" right after the cmd prompt window shows up
When i look at it in the error report im still getting this
Faulting application name: ff7config.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x35fd9b33
Faulting module name: nvd3d9wrap.dll, version: 8.17.12.6830, time stamp: 0x4db0d003
Exception code: 0xc0000005

This post may a bit old and reactivating this thread might be late, but i have found the solution to the "nvd3d9wrap.dll" problem. i encountered the whole day (doesnt matter what i have tried,it didnt work) this error and so iwent to the file itself. it was stored in "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager".it might be different for you, so use the windows explorer search function. just rename it to "_nvd3d9wrap.dll". it does not affect anything ( for now ). You can start now ff7config.exe :) if you are finished with playing, just in case, rename it back to its original name.

hope i could help you.
