Computer science news on Phys.org
Cracking that soft, changing the code, compiling again, using the recently compiled soft can help you deal with what you are actually asking...
 
i m not good at any codes...

Huh?...
 
Aside from the video configuration came with the game, you may try to download Win9x simulator software from Microsoft, it is made for win2k/xp, with it you can configure what enviroments you wish the game to be run in. Again, it is recommended to do such configurations from the game options if possible.
 
some games have a -window command line option which makes them, well, a small window you can drag around. i don't know if that's what you wanted but i can't figure out what else you would. RTFM, dude.

Try to google "FF7 for Winxp patch" in Google. It is the same patch I mentioned above.
