    Hey all,

    I actually don't have a problem running FF8 on vista. I installed the patch and it works fine, the only thing is that after I beat disc 1 and it says insert Disc 2, it doesn't work. I try to put in disc 2 and it keeps asking me to put in disc 2. Then after a couple of tries with disc 2 inserted it just goes black. Anybody have this problem/suggestions?

    My only suggestion is that you maybe do not have a legitimate copy of the game. Where did you buy it from? Did it come with the retail box/manual?

    If it is legit maybe you have a bad disk and need to return the game for an exchange.
