Issue with loading ff7 with mods on 1st boot

[prowler]

The game goes full screen black then it crashes with a cmd box for a split second and then it completely crashes. At the end I can hear a screeching loud noise for a split second through my speakers. 1) I have set the audio input field in ff7config to my sound input. 2) here is my APP file:

Any help would be appreciated!

hmm. knowing someone else is getting this kind of crash, too, helps.
I seem to be getting the same App.log, but i dont get as many lines about sound at the end

I have it set to run privileged, so i doubt its a uac thing.
I know FF7 and mods work on my PC/Graphics set, cause i have the Steam version working fine.

Addendum: i copied the ff7input.cfg from the Steam version and i still get the same looking crash, and the app.log is the same, only the ERROR line is not there.
