(to get into registry you need to go into run and type regedit)

go into your registry and follow this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII

if you dont have a wow****Node then follow from this one
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII

this will take you to where it is stored so you can see what the problem is.

if you dont under stand this i got the information from this site the information you want is step 6

i recommend as a complete finishing touch to also use FF7 Music found here Forums.qhimm.com

the reason is the squaresoft pc versions all have poor midi type music which is worse than the ps1 version.

with this mod it will silence the music when it has one to replace it so you will hear the replaced version.

you can eather use the ps1 version or Remastered OST which is an instrumental version(but you have to download it separate from here as servers broken Rapidshare.com)

oh and alot of older games will go into similar addresses in the registry so its handy to remember that.

on windows vista, win7 and i think probability win8 you will need to do this AFTER YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE INSTALLATION GUIDE:-

1) go to C:\Program Files\Final Fantasy VII\Driver Key Mod Pack

2) right click on the one you need to use go to edit

3) try below if you are on window vista or above

4) copy and paste below over the old hkey

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII]

5) it should now look similar to this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII]

i have a question dose this include the music fix if not will it work with it?

also on windows 7 the cd-rom reg patch wont work on vista and win7 as it needs to be what below for them:-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Square Soft, Inc.\Final Fantasy VII]

it works on win7 sp1 as long as there is no compatiblity mode set the same for orginal game.

P.S. this patch is for Multiplayer only
