help!!! how do you make ff7 and an xp laptop love each other? i'm not even talking about the chocobo race, i just mean installing the fucking retard of a game. how do you get around the whole not-having-a-numpad thing? i've looked this up on sooooo many forums (fora?) but each one seems to say i need a different patch. i know i could hook up a keyboard but i couldn't be arsed. what's more frustrating is i've also recently avquired the ps2 version but my scarts got lost in the move!!! GRRRRRR its like cake trapped inabox.

Here you go, a brilliant step-by-step guide:

Also a trouble shooting FAQ (probably has some things duplicated): http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=2670.0

Note that the FF7 XP 1.4 patch is nothing more than the two official patches, apparently, which might be why you're getting conflicting information.

and some other things that make it "better" here, too (if you like that sort of thing):
