Trying to run Final Fantasy 7 (old game, pc version) on XP and it goes to black screen. Managed to revert DirectX9 to DX4 (after someone advised me) even though the Demo for FF7 ran fine in DX9....wierd.

And so the question

Can i install windows 98 while xp is installed and have the option to choose which OS to use at start-up Or do i have to partition. Im on NTFS and not FAT32

Turns out you can Enable USB keyboard under Bios chipset features. Why its off by default is derp!

Still couldnt install 98 but managed to get Final Fantasy 7 to run under FAT32 with an older video card in Windows 95 compatibility mode (XP fresh install).

Thx for everything nothin

The thought never crossed mind. Just did a search for FF7 rom and found it. THANKS. But my comp is a bit old and probably have trouble running it. FF7 for PC is higher resolution also so..may use that option for FF9 which i havent ever plied. yes, plied
