FFVII Chocobo Crash!

I've heard many things about the Infamous Chocobo crashes...the best I could dig up was:

Oh, and some advice for any FFVII PC players:

-Anti-Aliasing/Anisotropic Filtering WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY ON ANY ATI VIDEO CARD PERIOD. You can still enable hardware acceleration by applying the official patch and selecting TNT2 in the video menu in FFVII Configuration, but enabling the other two options will give all 2D graphics (bacgrounds, menus, etc.) an odd grid distortion. The game is playable, and the battle graphics looks quite nice, it's just a pain in the ass to stare at a grid when choosing commands. If you have a Nvidia card, it will supposedly work fine.

-If you have the hard drive space, I suggest you copy all the movie files to the FFVII directory (preferably "Final Fantasy VII\movies\"). Go to Run and type "regedit" which will bring up your registry editor. From there, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then SOFTWARE. Locate Squaresoft Inc. and open it. Then click on Final Fantasy VII. To your right, should be numerous files, but double click on MoviePath. Set the value to wherever you have the movie files copied to, save your changes, and exit. No more annoying delays between acessing the CD drive when moving to a cinematic. You can thank Eidos' dumb freaking asses for making the movies bloated as fuck .avi files.

-While there is an WinXP patch that fixes crashing during certain areas in the game, there is one other patch that supposedly makes the game look and sound better. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PATCH. It causes numerous errors, and actually makes the music sound worse.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
