I am presuming that you are using XP. Patch the game with this: http://www.sofotex.com/Final-Fantasy-VII-XP-Patch-download_L5052.html in order to get it to run with XP.

Ok. What video card are you using and what set of drivers for that card?

Forgot to mention the famous chocobo patch found here: http://www.qhimm.com/ You'll have to page down a ways to see it.

I had the same problem a few minutes ago after I installed the game. But then I installed the Movie Player from the install cd and everything works fine.

the FINAL FANTASY VII XP PATCH IS A SLIMY HACK
found out why at the sites below.

You really should use certain specific fan-made patches for the game. Even Eidos site links to one of the
fan-made patches. There is even improved models for the game (!).
Here is my Best-Quality Graphics and Sound Final Fantasy VII page:

And if that doesn't solve your problem, go to

forums.qhimm.com

that's where I learned all I know about fixing and improving Final Fantasy VII

Good luck have fun,
