I'm running Win2k currently with a GeForce4 MX 420. The game runs fine except FMV's don't show. It wasn't a big deal for me, as I've played the game before and know what the FMV's are like. But now I'm up to North Corel, getting on the railway to Gold Saucer, and There are 6 FMV's in a row - and that's where the screen goes blank and doesn't recover. Usually, for the FMV's it just skips them, flickers a black screen for a second, and moves on. But I guess with more than one in a row something wacky goes on, and it doesn't resume gameplay.
 
I've tried installing the DirectShow drivers off of the install disc, I've opened the FMV's right off the cd in windows media player (and they run fine, sound and picture), and I've even tried installing the chocobo patch, all in vain. I'm running the latest version of DirectX as well, and have updated my video card drivers.
 
Any suggestions?
 
EDIT: Oh yeah, I've done all the service pack stuff too listed in a previous topic about this. I followed the instructions from the FF7 documentation project site.
