I have successfully installed ff7 mods in the past, using bootlegger, however recently I tried to start a new save and every time I try to skip the eidos or squaresoft fmvs I get ff7.exe has stopped working??? If I don't press any button it makes it all the way to the end of the intro credits scene but never makes it to the main menu! I've scanned through the forums and have tried re-selecting the sound options in ff7config and turning off compress textures in bootloader, but to no avail.

I apologize if this issue has already been addressed but couldn't find much help in any other threads and feel I'm at my wits end. xD
 
Also for some strange reason it seems to work when I switch to quarter screen mode in ff7config??
 
here is the app log

Thanks for the reply, I'm using AMD catalyst 13.5. I have no idea whats happening, one day it just stopped working. xD
 
Those are fine. Try this:

[list type=decimal]
[*]Right-Click on your My Computer and select the "Manage" option.
[*]Navigate to Event Viewer -> Windows Logs - > Application.
[*]Find the Error that is associated with FF7.exe.
[/list]

I use this to check FF7Config.exe crashes, but I want to see if we can get something with FF7.exe. If you find the error report, screenshot and post it.
 
I've finally solved it. ;D An annoying program called DEP was preventing the game starting after the intro cutscenes. You can search Google on how to turn DEP off its not hard. However not knowing much about DEP I usually put it back after playing, being somewhat paranoid as my name suggests. xD

Thanks to EQ2Alyza for help ^^
 
If this is sorted, I'm going to close the thread.
