I got a new computer recently and I was very annoyed to find that Final Fantasy's VII and VIII don't work on it. They Both just show black screens when I start them up.
I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or if anyone knew how to fix it.

yeah if its Vista RUN AWAY your goin to have a lot of problems with games

it's vista, and i dont know nothin bout no graphics card, but on the computer it says "Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 358MB shared video memory"

you have a decent graphics card i think it can handle it but vista thats the problem you got to run the program as i cant remember sry ill ask some one or savior might be able to help you

FF7 works in Vista if you download a patch for it. FF8 is probably the same way, though I don't have it. (These are Windows 95 games, remember. XD)

I have Vista and FFVII runs fine without any patches, albeit closing randomly if played too long. I think your problem is that integrated graphics card. Thos are good for nothing, and render most games unplayable. They take memory away from the RAM and use it for the graphics, and it screws the PC up. Im guessing your running a laptop?
