FF7/Technical/Chocobo races

Symptoms

In Gold Saucer, whenever I go to Chocobo Races my game crashes to Windows. I'm using Windows XP.

Causes

This is a very known problem caused by bad memory allocation. Game refers to pointer that doesn't exist in memory and Windows XP doesn't allow such operations.

Solution

Eidos has no solution to this problem besides giving you Save so you can play further in-game. Fortunately, a programmer called Jedwin, in topic on Qhimm Forums described this problem and provided a solution. A patcher was wrote by Qhimm, which you can download here.
