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.

Has anyone been able to run G-Police in WinXP without the invisible menues? I can run the game allright in 8 bit Software mode, but it looks terrible. I can start it in 16 bit hardware mode which of course looks much better but all the menus are gone.
