Using 'windowed' setting causes game to crash. Why?

Sierramoon · 06-01-2008, 10:10 AM

I play FFXI using the Windowed setting, but when I actually take advantage of this setting, it causes the game to quit responding. I end up having to Ctrl-Alt-Delete out and log back in.

This is happens when I get a pop up, minimize the game or hit the windows start button. Basically, when I do anything out side of the game.

It used to work beautifully, but for some reason it's stopped. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice for me?
