Playonline wont boot after FFXI install

[Starlord]

My computer works fine, my girlfriend wants to join FFXI and her computer is more than enough to run this 10 year old game, she has a Netbook here are the Specs:

1GB Ram

1.67GHz Intel Dual Core Processor

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (GPU)
---------------------------------------------------
Playonline does operate without FFXI being installed, however once I install FFXI ( main game) it won't boot up for some odd reason... any reason behind this?

Thank you!

I checked that, and it doesn't really help my current situation =(

What OS is the Netbook running? if windows 7 I think you'll have to download a patch.

Also could be the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator.

Win 7 (32-bit), and that patch is on that site you showed me correct? if so thats the one I downloaded for her .

If it's not the Intel G.M.A., Could be a problem with the FFXI Config on a new installation. I had a laptop that didn't want to play the opening movie would crash every time so I had to disable it.

Question lies... Would that be the cause of PoL not booting up at all? :/ PoL works just fine without FFXI installed.. when its installed its begin a ******* lol :P

Just googled the problem and someone with the same exact issue with the same exact Abyssea Collection. had the solution, that revovled around using the Vanadial Collection PoL 2008 version of PoL and that did the trick for him.. perhaps this is the light that I needed? hmmm

And by "netbook" you mean laptop? Because they're very different entities.

Yes Netbook meaning Laptop, but the laptop is smaller than a Regular laptop ( which is why its called a netbook lol)
