Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 560 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 560 Donate  | Vista - Can someone help me out? Ok, yeah this IS another Vista thread and you must get pretty annoyed by seeing these. But this one problem is really bugging me and I cant get ffxi to play at all on this new vista laptop I bought.
Ive downloaded the POL from the website specifically for Vista and yeah, sure it works. However, when I go the `Play` option on the page where you can purchase content ID's etc, It comes up with an error. The error says that I havent installed FFXI when I clearly have, its driving me crazy. Can someone help me out please? Would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou. |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 06-11-2008, 09:41 AM | #3 (permalink) | | Bushidu Blade Join Date: May 2006 Location: I live in Birmingham,England Posts: 1 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 0

Thanked 4x in 3 Posts Gil: 3,541 Bank: 1,811 Total Gil: 5,352 Donate | Re: Vista - Can someone help me out? There was a thread in the "General Discussion" area where a user had this same problem. I told him to uninstall FFXI as well as POL and re-install the Vista POL viewer first, then re-install FFXI and obviously not installing the older POL version. He said it then recognized that he had FFXI installed. Now.... if only there was 1 solution for the same issue everyone encouters  Good luck mang.

then reinstall the Vista-POL
then install FFXI and all your expansions
some say its good to install Vista-POL then update it, then install FFXI and all the expansions Gaming at its best, the good old 8-bit days  | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 06-19-2008, 08:04 PM | #8 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Honolulu Posts: 2,251 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 63

Reason why I gave up trying to run FFXI on my PC is that Vista just absolutely craps all over the FFXI client (POL runs fine ... I run into a solid wall trying to run the game, however) With my PS2 complaining quite loudly recently, I decided to not bother even getting back into the game. So it's been nearly 5 months since SE auto terminated my 2 accounts (never bothered to update my credit card info)
