Help with FF7 in WinXP

Eternalspirit

I've tried everything I could think of, but FF7 refuses to work properly. If i play in Win XP mode, major slowdowns going into/out of battle, and into/out of menu, same thing with Win2k and NT compatibility, if I play in Win 95/98 mode, thats fixed, but my game crashes and I can't use my controller.

Setting the default size of new browser windows
