    Updating FFXI game files w/o an active POL or Content ID

    I recently reformatted my computer and I have reinstalled POL/FFXI with all 4 expansions. POL will update fine, but on the main menu FFXI is not an option to update under check files. My POL account is currently hijacked/locked by SE so I can't log into the game and update the files that way. Does anyone have any suggestions as for a way around this?

    For what it's worth, here are the steps I took when I reformatted.

    Reformat/Install XP Home edition
    Install ethernet drivers from Dell CD
    Install Symantec Corporate and update.
    Run windows update
    Install Office 2003
    Run windows update
    Install Firefox
    Install POL/Update POL
    Install FFXI

    Why don't you just update FFXI when you get your account back?

    Just wanted to get that out of they way now. I figure it will take a long time to run 4.5 yrs worth of updates, and wanted to do that overnight.

    You could grab one of those trial cd's and get most of the updates with that
