FF7 trouble

mazazon · 05-14-2008, 08:09 PM

Recently decided to start playin FF7 again (it was already on my computer I didn't uninstall it or anything) it worked fine before but now that I try to run it again I have a very odd issue I can't find a solution to... when I run it the screen is cut horizontilly in half and the image that would normally be displaying is there but the bottom of the image is at the top of the screen and the top is at the bottom this problem is not just in the start up or videos but persists when I play and before some1 says try patches I did.

Does it have a windowed mode option? Or you could try the compatibilty modes in right click properties. FF7 was written for Windows 95, not XP, so a service pack is a possible culprit (they didn't exist in W95).

thanks I'll try that but I'd be a little surprised if it was that easy because I didn't do anything to cause this I just decided to start playin again and this problem was there where it wasn't before.
