no ffxi config?

[Murdock]

I reciently got a new computer and installed ffxi on it. I had to go to playonline.com to download the special playonline viewer for windows vista. When I did this it told me to uninstall the exsisting copy of playonline, which I did(idk why i installed it off the disk in the first place, knowing I had to d/l the vista version off of POL). Anyway got it all up and running and it worked fine, but I wanted to change a few things in ffxi config. So I went to start>programs>playonline and there was no FFXI Config. Tried looking around and it wasnt anywhere on my computer. POL config is there, but not the other.

So my question is, where is ffxi config?

It may just be missing from your programs menu, check the actual folder that contains the FFXI install in program files, it should be there.

Im not at home to check but it should be something like Program Files > PlayOnline > SquareEnix > Final Fantasy XI > ToolsUS > Final Fantasy XI Config

Thats for XP atleast, shouldnt be any different for vista though. If it's not there.. uh.. reinstall or just use the registry to change the values. http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?f ... 2834&num=3

I checked in the folder when I noticed it wasnt under the start menu, maybe I missed it. I'll check again when I get home. thx for the tip :D

i used to, but I only used it for the window mode and some plug-ins. I never messed with anything it could actually do or use.

There is no config.exe file? Usually windows/pol locks out the sys file cuse SE doesnt want you messing with it. If the .exe isnt there and you dont want to mess with editing it through the registry, I would suggest you ask someone (probably someone you trust >.>) with Vista and see if they can send you their .exe file and see if that works. Im not sure if the config.exe comes from pol or ffxi install, so cant say if the OS you get it from makes a difference. The config.exe file may be in plain site on one of the install CDs as well, then again it might be burried in a .cab file or something. If you want take some time on each CD and see if you can locate it.

If that doesnt work, only other option I can think of is to reinstall.
