Final Fantasy VIII disc3 (PAL UK) problem...

OK, i've searched the whole forum for an answer to my prob, but i seem to be the only one with it.

When i need to control the garden on the world map, i have no graphics for the "ship" and i have no graphics for Squall when i leave the ship. also, if i move for about 5 seconds, the game freezes, but the music still plays, and i can exit epsxe too. also, it seems like i have problems with the water, seeing as its got a black chunk out of it...

i've tried various plugins, and i've tried using onboard and voodoo 2, but nothing changes, and, in wireframe/texture mode of lewpy's glide, it shows the wireframe for the ship. on disc 1 and 2, i played them all the way through without any problems AT ALL. i've even tried using epsxe 1.5.2, but no difference.

heres my specs and my plugin configurations:

i have tried peops soft plugin, and no, im not using savestates.
i tried peops again, but for some reason it crashes on voodoo2, but it has no change to the game on my onboard primary display drivers.

i dont understand why disc 1 and 2 r fine, but not disc 3... there is a scratch on the edge of the disc, but it reads from the middle to the edge, right? so it wouldn't be that would it?

EDIT: i made an iso of my cd, and tried loaded it in epsxe, but all i get it a black screen, and i dont understand y... please help me

no, because its at the beginning of disc 3, u start by getting off the bed and visiting rinoa in the hospital, then u r called to the bridge, to go to the house place thingy because that women is there (forgot names and such lol), so i need to control the garden to get to that house, but of course, i cant, cause it freezes and i cant see the graphics and so on. the bit that i described a min ago is all fine, no problems with it at all... i dont understand this...
thanx for the offer, but i tried it a few times, and for some reason, it finaly worked lol.
sorry for wasting all ur time, but u have to admit, its kind of a weird problem i had...

yours thankfully, Jamie.
