I just wanted to play FF8 again. But after all the stuff about Eidos and Square, the Screens turn's black. But when pressing any keys on my Gamepad I hear that sound saying the cursor has moved. I hitted Start New Game (which I couldn't see, too) and the intro shows up. This looks fine, no glitches or anything. When the FMV finishes there's no chance to see anything I just see some *pink* things.
I'm using an ATI Rage128 on Win2k. When I used Win98 it used to work fine. I tried several drivers. Nothing helped.
May be anybody else has that prob, too.

Yes, but there ist only one for GeForce-Cards
I tried the other Patch for no specific card but that doesn't help 'coz this patch isn't supposed to fix problems like this.

I heard about that compatibility-option on german site (www.giga.de/help) before but at that time I was on Win98 so I didn't care.
Ah yes, I went to the Windows Update, but there nothing about a "application compatibility pack". Where else should I go?

Thx for the link but...with an activated compatibility-layer FF8 won't even start no matter which one I choose.
@cluthu: Yes, I have.
I'll attach a screenshot of the game in Hardware-Mode. It's the entrance hall just before the elevator. For some strange reason it doesn't look pink anymore
