Vista POL

[The_OG_Nelta]

Now that I have Vista, Do I need Vista POL? If so where can I get it?

[Shuemue]

Are you really this fucking stupid?

Yes you do need it, and where else would you get it other than, oh I don't know, the fucking POL website?

Honestly, use a bit of common sense.

Actually, you don't. I used the POL that came on the 4 CD FFXI thing.

Calling bullshit, unless they released new CD's that are Vista compatible.

[Snowknight26]

Nope, its this one from like 4 years ago.

[Day]

Calling bullshit in that case then. If you try to use the POL off the CD's you'll get an error to the effect of "This application does not support this operating system".

I used the same CDs Snow used, you dont need POL for vista to get POL running.

[Day]

Well that's news to me. I attempted to use the CDs... different package, but old shit none the less, and got an error... as do most people who try to use the CD's. Hell I can go through this tech forum and find several examples of people getting that exact error.

There's a thread to make it work on the windower forums. Cause originally when Vista came out, that POL was not available.

Ok well telling someone it will work without telling them that they need to go to the windower forums for some kind of guide is pretty misleading don't you think? Why not just download it at this point. It's not like it's a big file... and no tweaking involved.

Cause it would take me longer to DL from POL than it does to make it work.

[Day]

It's 59 MB ...

You have a shitty connection then. I downloaded it in about a minute.
