playing ff7 on a samsung V25 laptop

[tokyochojin]

I recently purchased a Samsung laptop to act as a kind of big gameboy for use on my travels, however i recently installed ff7 (pc version) onto it and although the game plays fine the movie sequences don't play that well. They smoothly enough but the picture isn't right. I checked the setup and it says that my laptop failed in "8 bit shaded display" (or something similar). Is this the problem? I though the samsung would be fine seen as the it is a P4 but isn't my graphics card up to running an 6 year old game?

I know that FF7 had a very picky graphics engine, although I do believe there was a patch to address this very issue. Have a poke around and see what you come up with. I may be wrong, though...
