Wow, thanks for the quick response.

Okay, kept the ficedula folder, but uninstalled the multipatch (now I have the original 1.02 version).  I install the vid patch, seems to work perfectly.  The sound effects are running okay, too.  The music, however, doesn't work.  The newest  ff7music crashes just after the opening edios movie.  It knows the path of the music files, but it gives me a error when running FF7 from the ff7.exe music file:
Error setting DirectSound cooperative level; please shutdown other programs using your soundcard.  Error code: 80070057

I did a dxdiag, and did the DirectSound tests, and everything passed, no problems found anywhere.  I don't have MP3's open or anything whatsoever that may be "using" my soundcard.
 
What output dll are you using? I believe the ds_out.dll is kind of buggy and you may be able to fix your problem using wav(e?)_out.dll or just something other than the directshow dll.
 
Where do I get it?  I can't seem to find it on my computer (the wav(e?)_out.dll, or wav_out.dll), and the ff7music doesn't seem to come with it.

EDIT:  Looked around, and in my winamp folder was out_wave.dll, which I told ff7music to use.  No more error, but no music whatsoever.  Haha.  Problem after problem, I really appreciate the help though.  :)

EDIT 2:  Okay, I messed up a bit.  I forgot in my giving up, I installed the multipatch just before eating, then forgot about it when I was done, which caused some problems.

NEW PROBLEM:
The music starts up fine, works great.... except... I just had to start a new game (old computer went up in smoke... litearlly), and say it starts playing the opening music (the one where Aerith is shown and the FF7 logo, train etc. etc, all music works great until it has to change songs, at which time it continues to play the old song *and* starts the new song it's supposed to switch to, both playing at the same time.  Phew, this is confusing, haha.  I'll look into the ff7music config.

EDIT 3:  Phew.  After some tweaking, finally got it working.  Besides a few things, it's working.  Thanks for the help, it's definately very appreciated. :)
 
I also had troubles getting FF7music to work with this patch. Even though the new FF7music doesnt need to modify the exe, I think it can not get a handle on the FF7window maybe? I noticed that you changed the window name to The_Saints..etc  I experimented, and before I install your patch ff7music worked fine, but afterwards :|

[edit] NEW bug: Snowboarding game: uhm, see for yourself o_o

Theres a chance that it's some odd incompatability with the new version of the minigames FPS patcher, but, well, i dunno =/
 
You can get that effect without mgp installed. Let's just say it's not my fault this time.

Edit:

Ok, quick fix:
1. Open ff7.exe with any hex editor.
2. At offset 0x3B69FA change 0xA0 to 0xF0
3. At offset 0x3B69FB change 0x42 to 0x43

OR, wait for TheSaiNt to fix it.
 
There are links to the 1.02 patch at the top of my FF7 FAQ thread, which is at the top of this forum.  You should be able to find that.
 
yeah i made it!!!
innstalled 1.02 worked fine

patched whit [The_SaiNt]_High_Res_FF7PC_Patcher
:o  o... the graph was so ******* bad i have never have it worse :(

what is wrong??
i realy NEED help, i can't play like that...
 
Looks like you chose wrong nVidia fix. Try TNT instead of Riva128.

now i see the problem...

i have been playing whitout the nVidia stuff, and if i sett in on nVidia. the game crach... :(
i have a nVidia gForce FX 5700 LE
 
Get rivatuner and disable the 8bit palletted textures on your card. Then setup FF7 to use the nVidia fix on TNT, that should fix everything, because it sounds like what problems I've had and how I fixed 'em on a FX5200 (DX8).
 
You'll probably need to download rivatuner and disable 8-bit paletted textures for DirectX7.
 
thnx _o_

now i have it and trying ti figure out how to use it :p
