  • New Hard Drive / But no POL CD

    I have FFXI on my PS2, so I'm already registered and etc, so pretty much what I'm trying to do was to install FFXI on my laptop.

    Now... I had it on my first laptop HDD, once upon a time ago, but it was a 20gb HDD, and with RoZ and CoP, I had to uninstall it since it was about an 11gb game (if I'm not mistaken...)

    But I didn't uninstall POL, since that took up virtually no space by comparison.

    Anyway, the first problem I have is that even though I copied the POL folder to my new hard drive, I can't open POL, and I'm suspecting that it's a registry problem. No matter the hard drive I try to open POL from, I get this error:

    [Error code = 20008014
    Cannot open registry key for install path of PlayOnline-compatible software
    ID-1000]

    So essentially, I have POL on my other, barely alive hard drive, and I want to put it on my brand spanking new hard drive.

    But now I have a new hard drive, but no POL CD.

    How in the blue fudge can I copy the registry of my other hard drive, specifically, the key values of POL?

    I'm guessing that they're located here:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PlayOnlineUS\~~~]

    I'm doing some research, and I'm finding that reinstallation will fix the problem, but I don't have a POL CD, so if any one has any suggestions, that'd be super.

    I'm not expert with regedit >.> But pretty sure you can select the folder from regedit and export it with some menu on top of the window. And import it into your laptop.

      Ok, I copied the registry, and remarkably, now when I click open POL, I ACTUALLY SEE THE POL LOGO!!!!!

      But aside from that, nothing much. It pops up with a message saying: [Class not registered]

      =(

      Darn.
