HALP Can't download FFXI Updates on Vista

[Egon]

So i installed FFXI on my brother's Vista machine. Everything was going smoothly until i tried to update FFXI. It doesn't even attempt to start it. But the odd thing is that it installed the POL update just fine. No errors or anything. But the FFXI update is smacking a brick wall. I've turned off all firewalls and well everything else i know how to turn off. This PC doesn't even have a router.

Thanks in advance for the halp!!

Is Windows Defender off? Its considered seperate from the firewall.

Control Panel -> Windows Defender -> Tools -> Options -> (Scroll down) Uncheck "Use Real-time protection".

I personally haven't had issue with Windows Defender, but I've seen other machines have it block random programs.
