    Steam, FFXI, and Windower

    For some reason I can't get windower to recognize my steam DL'd FFXI, is there a certain procedure I should be following? Also, I'm not extremely computer savvy so lamens (morons) terms would be sweet C:

    What OS? If Vista or 7, are you running Windower as admin?

    Make sure you are right-clicking the Play FFXI (Windower) icon and selecting "Run as administrator". Think you can also right-click the icon, select Properties, click on the Compatibility tab and check the box to run the application as an administrator.

    You can't open windower through steam, but have to open windower through the launcher it's self. I've tried to open windower with steam so it recognizes that i'm playing, but it's impossible...

    make sure your windower is running as admin, and the gui too if you are tweaking stuff, it works fine then, just got it working the other day without issue
