So the thing is, ive recentely installed ff7 and some mods (_YAMP_-_Yet_Another_Multi-Patcher; _Higher_quality_Cloud_mod_; _NPC_Reconstruction_Project_for_FF7PC_0.6_mod_; _Advent_Avatars_mod_; ._New_Spell_Patch_; and programs like SceneReduxV1_2; TrueMotion_codec) and did that while folloving the miracle.flames step by step instructions.So i loaded disc 2, pressed new game, watched the cutscene, and then, upon entering the first battle, it just froze.(i can still hear the music though which sometimes crashes for a short period of time) After a few sec i got a message, saying that ff7.exe is not responding, and,unfortunately, the only way i could shut it down was by turning off/restaring the pc.
 
I hope someone has the solution to whis :)

im running windows xp. Intel(R) pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60Ggz 1.59Ghz, 256mb RAM

i dont know, try reinstalling the game without all those outdated mods and then add things one by one testing if they work before moving on to the next mod.

i tried that like 25 times now, and no matter what i do, at the start of the game it always say - "your  open gl render appears to be microsoft software. Expect extreme lag." and its just imposible to play then...

"your  open gl render appears to be microsoft software

generally means your graphic drivers are not installed or properly installed.

Google your graphic card and place "drivers" next to it.  Or look at the nvidia site and download the drivers.

Ok so ive installed the latest driver, re-installed ff7, used 1.02 patch and alli's latest driver, changed window size y to 1024 and windows size x to 768 (in ff7_opengl) set to custom driver in ff7config, and after i ran the game nothing happened.It didint even opened the game window.

So................ what now? :D
 
the only file ive found with the name APP was a text document,  and it was completely empty...

If you have just run the game and then it crashed or didnt open it should have some information.  It is possible you have not installed aalis driver properly.  Go to his thread and read it.
 
Ok so i attemted to reinstall everything again, to get alli's driver working. And after i installed the 1.02 patch, i wanted to put a savedata from first save point so i dont have to watch the intro movie every time i want to test how some mods/patches effects the game. I started the game and after the in eidos intro, it crashed and i had to restart the pc.Ive did not experienced it before installing my graphics card driver, so i think it may be the reason.(In NVIDIA site i found driver download with the exact name as my card - NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 460 and downloaded it, im really new to whis stuff, so im not sure its the right one ;D)
 
Your problem is you lack even the basics... you need:

1.  original game, NOT downloaded.
2. Install correct graphic drivers.
3. Install game.
4. Install aalis driver properly with 1.02 patch.
5. Run game and if it doesnt work, check app log.

Well, i dont have an original game, and since the downloded one worked before i installed the mods and driver(graphic card), i dont really think its the games fault :D And mabye you could tell me what driver i need, if it the one named exatly the same as my graphic card doesnt do the trick(if theres any chance that its like that)

Well, since you downloaded it, we won't be helping you anymore. Read the rules.

edit: Actually, I'll just go ahead and quote the rule in question:
We Do Not Condone Software Piracy

Asking where to get illegal software or cracks will not be tolerated. Asking for support for the Ultima Edition or any other pirated version of the game will not be tolerated. Any discussion regarding pirated software is an immediate warning.

whats the big deal even if i do have a downloaded copy.Its not like you guys gonna be punished by anyone for that.And, in my current state, i couldnt buy an original game, no matter how much i try.Even though ill be 18 in only weeks, i wont be able to open a bank account until im 21.Our country is still at crysis(economical that is), so for the time being it is the only way to buy something outside Lithuania.(with an exception of credit cards, which, unfortunately, has the same age limitation)And lets face it, theres at least of 2/5~3/5 of people in whis forum, who use an iligal version, but just aren't dumb enough to expose it to all (as i am, i think a d'oh would really fit here ;D)
