Seems like either.

1. You have a virii blocking some executables from working.

2. The auto-insert notification of your CD-rom is not on.

3. Or the CD-Rom is screwed.

Have you tried the various compatability modes of XP on the SETUP.EXE to see if that helps it install?

Not sure whats wrong? I've just reinstalled my copy on XP with SP2 and all critical Windows Updates applied and the install went fine.

Only problem is most newer Nvidia cards do not support 8-bit Paletted Textures anymore so you have big black blocks all over the screen when playing the game.

Nvidia are stupid fucks honestly!!

All other CDīs works fine. The main Problem is i canīt install the game of my machine, on the friends laptop it works he can install it. The only way to get the game on my system is the way that i describe on the top entry. It will work but if i try to start the game and insert cd 1 it brokes up and throw mw to my desktop.

@Barry B
You have to chenge the settings for the Game from 3d hardware... to system... maybe the problem will fix, or you can install the patch but maybee it doesnt work. at the moment iīm a pro with the problems from the game

I know running the game in SOFTWARE mode solves the black box problem, but running in D3D mode allows you to set Anti-Aliasing and other settings to make the game look better but the black boxes make it pointless. I'm already using the GeForce 1.2 patch and it does not solve the problem.

There appears to be NO SOLUTION to this problem of running FF8 in D3D mode with any Nvidia card above a 6600 as these cards simply don't support 8-bit Paletted Textures.
