Perhaps your files are read-only. Just change the read-only attribute of the FF7 game folder and all of the files within.

ok right this could work, on properties of the ff7 folder the "read only folder" is clicked, however when i un click it and go through the permission process, it comes back on whenever i check again?

any ideas?

Just move ff7.exe out of "program files" folder...
patch it and move it back...

works for me perfectly

sorry do you mean just the ff7.exe or the whole folder? thanks

 

[AlkoholiX]

just the "ff7.exe"

YAMP do only patch the ff7.exe, and vista don't allow yamp to patch anything in "program files" folder....
