Thank you! It fixed it. However it does mess up the resolution so that the game isnt fully displayed :-(

Post up your ff7_opengl.cfg file and a screenshot... could be either wonky resolution settings or a DPI issue.
 
Right click the 7thheaven and set and set the compatibility to run as as administrator. apply and close.
Then find the FF7 exe you are using eg.. ff7_bc right click and set compatibility to run in 640x480.

Thanks. I also have to swap my DPI setting back to 100% in order for the game to run correctly; else it loads in the bottom right of the screen with a portion of it cut off.

Is there something I can set so that I don't have to adjust DPI manually every time I want to load the game? Already a pita having to load up daemon tools with the blank disc ISO in order for 7th Heaven not to say I need to put in a disc, despite my copy of the game being a legit purchase on Steam of the 2013 version. Seems the Game Converter thing made it require that. I thought it would be only for initially running the converter, but nope... It's apparently required for every time you play as well.
 
Right click the 7thheaven and set and set the compatibility to run as as administrator. apply and close.
Then find the FF7 exe you are using eg.. ff7_bc right click and set compatibility to run in 640x480. Don't worry the opengl plugin will override this anyway.
Next go back into 7thheaven and try launching the game.

ive just tried this but now i get code 15
 
Could you screen shot it for us?  I can't remember ever seeing (or hearing about) a C:15 before.

Leor1c, two likely problems...
- The paths being referenced in the error indicate you're running a dev version of 7H, not the one Alyza linked to in the tutorial (unless she's changed it and I didn't catch it).
- After talking with a couple people, it seems as if Code 15 references an invalid drive.  It could be that you had FF7DISC1.ISO mounted as E: when you ran the converter, but now it's completely missing, or at a different letter.  Posting the contents of FF7_GC.LOG might help us figure out where the game expects to find it.
