Can't get started FFVII

Hi everyone. I was trying yesterday to install FFVII on my computer. It's a windows XP, and I haven't played the game in years and years. Now, I haven't tried installing patches yet, but when I start it up, I install and get all the "required installations" then get maximum install, and it all is fine... I pop in disc 1 to try it out... New game/continue (grayed out) and I click new game. Black screen. Nothing happens. No sound. I have to alt tab out and shut it down with ctrl alt delete (it's still running though) to try again.

Happens everytime.

Add the maximum amount of memory your computer allows. This should work.

hi i also added ff7 recently i am running vista and i was wondering if you could help i have a slight error with the game it plays fine but the screen is too small and the music will not play after fmv sequences until i have entered a battle and won

hi again i have managed to sort out the screen size but now i manage to get the blue screen of death every so often the sound is still in the same state
