Re: pol closes when starting ffxi

HEY GUYS
a breakthrough I have finaly got on to a different screen ffxi update, will let it do its stuff and see where we go from there. I finally had enough and did a clean install. when ffxi is up and running I will reinstall all apps and see which one/s caused the problem. soon as i find out i will add apost here and start a new thread for anyone else unlucky enough to experience a problem like this.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions but watch this space just in case

Re: pol closes when starting ffxi

ouch, i bet that took awhile

some nice games you had on your pc. you did have A LOT of processes and stuff installed. I myself was having problems w/ my pc, virus check was clean but when i did adware/spyware scan it found one and it's been working great since.

hopefully at this point you should be finished downloading updates

to keep your pc from being "locked up" when downloading updates and such, in the pol config in the start menu you can change it to "windowed" and it will run pol in windowed mode. so you can dl updates and surf or do other things at the same time. really helps when you're somewhere and there really is nothing to so. when you goto the main FFXI page it will change to full screen b/c FFXI itself won't run in windowed mode.

Re: pol closes when starting ffxi

Well ffxi runs really fine now
All games and apps can be reinstalled not to much of a problem there just a bit time consuming running backwards and forwards to different sites and messing around with lots of disks. Still it helps to have over 400gb storage seperate to main machine to back up onto so that will save a lot of heartache. Still not sure what caused the problem but still looking.
Only thing to really say is someone should sort out their update procedure over 3 hours someone is having a laugh you should be able to skip it and then set it to run overnight or something (would make sense to me)
Keep up all the hard work and will keep you all posted

yeah, the:
update
restart
update
restart
find there are more updates
restart
yada
yada
etc

is not only annoying but gets old very fast. Glad it's working though.
