I actually have the oddest error with running FFXI on Windows 2003 SP1 Japanese version.

When I tried to run POL, I get the error that I need DirectX 8.1 or higher. Which is what I have, 9.0c. The funny thing is that only the JAPANESE PlayOnline viewer does that. I ALSO have ENGLISH version of PlayOnline, and it runs fine on a JAPANESE OS! So, I am believing that there is some detection problem with PlayOnline that was fixed with the English version but is still prevailant in the Japanese version.

BTW, I reinstalled Win2k3, so it is a native unmodded DirectX 9.0c.

Anyone run into this problem?
