Final Fantasy XI problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

everything worked fine, until i launch FFXI through PlayOnline Viewer.

i searched the web for this problem and could only find a topic here
(that apparently didn’t exist, as in that’s what it tells me when i
try to reply), this is pretty much my case, except it’s not been
working since installation. also this is the only thing i can find on
google that’s at least related to my problem. below is the url and
what the topic creator’s first post said:
http://www.windowsforumz.com/-final-fantasy-xi-ftopict190520.html
"I recently upgraded my graphics card to an Nvidia geforce 5700fx go.
I had
to update the BIOS. Everything works fine, except for Final Fantasy
XI. I am
able to login to PlayOnline Viewer, but as soon as I try to play Final
Fantasy XI, I get a windows error message saying (Pol.exe application
error)
(the instruction at "0x0116283c" referenced memory at
"0x00000000". The
memory could not be "written".) and then it exits the program. I
have
contacted support at square/enix, and i was told it was a windows
problem. I
can’t seem to find any information that is helpful."

i also tried a number of things like reinstalling, change to
compatibility modes, didn’t work. although when i changed the
compatibility to windows 95/98/me it shuts down the program instead of
the error message.

i’m running all the recommended system requirement, except for the
graphics card, which is a model behind (Nvidia GeForceFX 5200, but
i’ve got twice the ram for it).

thanks in advance. i waited so long for amazon to deliver and finally
turned to another online store who delivered within a few days, now
that it’s here i can’t get it to work, i couldn’t even sleep properly
because of it

Thought your post looked familiar.

What graphics card do you have? Do you get the exact same error happening?
