I dl'd the stuff last night and pol crashed when I tried to go to the test server. After reading these posts I still have no idea how to get it to work right, I guess I'm just not tech savvy lol....

It doesn't require any tech savvy. I basically spelled out exactly what you need to do down to the keypress. Maybe some pictures will help.

The place you installed the test client should have the folders shown in the window below.



If it looks more like the below (note the extra "ffxi" folder at the top) then you messed up:


If your install folder looks more like the second picture, then you need to open that extra 'ffxi' folder, press CTRL-A to select all, press CTRL-X (for Cut), go back to your install folder (The folder path shown is the default install place), and press CTRL-V (for Paste).

This will only work if you haven't already downloaded updates. If you have, then you'll need to uninstall and start over, making sure to copy the CONTENTS of the "ffxi" folder, not the "ffxi" folder itself.

If you're sure you've done everything correctly and it STILL doesn't work, then the most likely reason is you downloaded the EU files when you're using the NA client or vice-versa.
