    Windower'd but not Windower'd

    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.

    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

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.
