    If you can't do that, you're problems are deeper then SE can solve.
    I've done this already -3 times!

    SE cannot solve the problem because the SE-Hotline is the same hotline as POL's hotline....

    But there's another thing in my mind: I got Vist 32bit, is there a problem??

Loaded up PoL and downloaded all the updates, went to FFXI and downloaded all the updates, and played. Does this POL error come up when you try to get into PoL or after you get into the actual program?

    EDIT: Then too, I wasn't registering new characters, I already have a POL account on my laptop.
    I'm trying to register a new Content-ID and then the error-code comes... I'm right at the beginning... I installed in the same order as you did...

    Re you trying to register/activate a content ID or get pol / ffxi itself to load/ play?

    FYI there was annoying mainenance yesterday and this morning and people were unable to register / cancel / reactivate IDs. Its available now, as i had deactivated the wrong char and coudn't actualy REactivate until she had deactivated, WTF? Why would anyone have to WAIT heh.

    Yelling at the people trying to help you is not a good way to solve your problem, just FYI.

Just telling me that there's a lot of snow and nobody at the office, but thats not my problem! I've paid for this game and nobody is able to help me. I get a error-code that was concipated by POL and nobody of this stupid people is able to look for it in their system....

    I downloaded the vista version of pol and ffxi works fine. Sorta. Players and summoned avatars and npcs are garbled blobs of textures and polygons. I did have to run the pol as administrater, never had to turn any UAC off.

    You can also go to pol.exe file and click its properties to always run as administrator, same with ffxi itself.

    That's quite possible, if after waiting a day or two it still doesn't work then you can continue to work on troubleshooting. Vista is really stupid about working with POL at first, but once you get it you should have no problems.

    I just disabled the UAC, I'm also Administrator... But it doesn't work anyway... A friend of mine told me that POL has maintenances at the moment. Maybe there's a connection??

    Re: PlayOnline on Vista

    You will probably want to disable the UAC (google it, not entirely sure how to do it since I only did it once) and also run FFXI/POL as Administrator. I think those were the two hurdles I had to jump over to play FFXI on Vista.

    PlayOnline on Vista

    Dear members!

    I just bought the FFXI 2008 edition for my new Laptop (HP Pavilion dv7) with Windows Vista. Since January 26th I'm trying to run it...
    First I didn't had the Vista-Patch. After installing the Vista-Patch and installing POL and FFXI again it didn't work. Everytime I'm trying to registrate a new Content-ID I get the error-code POL-1341.
    On Friday I called the POL-Support hotline and there was such a stupid guy on the line, who just said I should install the game once again!!! I'm just so sick of installing and deinstalling... I installed about 50 hours til now...
    Today I called my provider, because there might be some ports which are not available - no! Every port is available.

    Now I'm sooo desperate... Has anybody of you an idea how to run POL on my Laptop??

    I also tried to turn off my virus-software (inlcuding Firewall) and all other programs... But it doesn't work....

    Pleaaaseeee, help me, I'm really at the end of my nervs.
    Thank you :)
Working...
