    HELP!! FFXI duo box with Windows 7! (no reply on other thread)

    DO NOT LOCK THIS PLEASE!!!!!

    I am begging anyone to tell me how they duo box on Windows 7.... This is about the 20th post I have made on several ffxi sites and no help yet.

    I used to duo box all the time, then my comp crashed and now I am working from an all new install on everything. So I have the latest windower, installed ffxi from the Vana collection disk.

    Windower works great and so do all the plug ins. I can not seem to duo box.
    I have tried using 2 versions of windower and windower lite on 2nd char. I get the standard Playonline has stopped working message.

    Please please any help would be appreciated.

    Running the program as administrator fixed the problem for me

    If you're desperate, try the V4 alpha, I had success with that on my Vista rig when nothing else would work. Other than that, run as admin, disable UAC, etc...

    Just last week, I moved to 64-bit Win7 and reinstalled FFXI. In order for me to startup the 2nd PlayOnline to dual-box from same PC, I changed the UAC. The screen flash from the UAC popup was killing my first POL session. Once I changed UAC, I can dual box with no problems. (Set to run as Administrator, as well)

    For my personal setup, I have two Windower folders that contain different screen resolution and plugin settings. I'm also using the 3.4.2 Windower version... All worked fine as of yesterday.

    YMMV.

    OMG was so simple!
    I did changed the UAC to Never notify and now it works fine.
    I knew it was something simple I was missing!
