You need to download the XP Patch I think, VIII was only out on 98 I believe, if you look in the book you should find the online website for it, you can download the patch offa there, good luck matey

Just google "Final Fantasy 8 XP patch" or somethin similar. You need the patch to have everything set up to work right. You also have to have a similar patch to make FF7 work on XP. Most sites provide instructions on how to install the patch also.
