Windower'd but not Windower'd

[pugnax179]

So I'm having issues where I start Final Fantasy, POL says Windower enabled but when I get into FF itself, its not windower, I have no plugins, can not alt-tab. Not sure how to resolve this

edit- also right clicked and hit the run as administartor jic but that made no difference

You might have an older version that isn't compatible anymore. I have 3.41 and it works perfectly.

[pugnax179]

running 3.42, I did a fresh download off the Windower website, still nothing ; ;

try different resolutions

[pugnax179]

tried 800x600 and 1600x900, still the same results

what windows are you useing? do you have the beta hook.dll if you are using windows 7?

[pugnax179]

using windows 7, have been using the hook.dll that you get in the windower 3.42 download

[DAKPluto]

Turn off FFXI's windowed mode.

[pugnax179]

never been on

[Katlan]

are you sure you dont have "run in full screen mode" (something like that) enabled? And you sure the resolution is set to ur monitor? Need to go into the launcher and click "save" also

[pugnax179]

resolution is set to my monitor (1920x1080), positive I saved the settings

[pugnax179]

Not sure if if reinstalling the entire game will make a difference, seems like a lot of work

DL the beta hook.dll then. Might help out

just tried that, nothing here either, just decided to reinstall the entire thing and retry from there, hopefully problem will be solved

keep that hook.dll anyways. It helps out for windows 7 and keeps it from crashing and what not when you do get it working.

reinstalling the game had no effect on this issue, i'm def. at a loss now

deleted windower off my computer and redownloadedit but same issue is still present

[dejet]

would a reinstall keep his old registry edits? or is that all cleared?

[fishstix]

registry should be unaffected, windower overrides those for the most part I think. and actually yeah, the resolution thing wouldn't have accounted for the loss of plugins.

/house It's lupus.

Is this a brand new installation of windows? idk if it's relevant, but did you install dx9? I know 7 comes with dx11, but it's not completely backwards compatible. I know Aion had issues. Like others said, it doesn't seem to be hooking, maybe antivirus program?

I say this everytime: If you're running 64-bit Windows - make sure that you click on 64-Bit in the Windower menu otherwise none of the settings you change will go through.

[Shalafi]

Make sure you have the proper POL; not sure if that will affect it, but it's worth a shot.

tried 800x600 and 1600x900, still the same results

resolution is set to my monitor (1920x1080), positive I saved the settings

Also, if you are running windower at the max resolution of your monitor, that is the outcome you will get. Make sure you're setting the window & background resolutions accordingly.
