    Thanks for the try.
    I didn't have that particular update installed.
    In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I haven't used Windows Update for at least a year until this problem came up.

    Nor did I have any of the "problem" updates listed in that thread you posted, which include:
    KB 2843638
    KB 2843639
    KB 2859537
    KB 2868846
    KB 2873872
    KB 2876063

    As for System Restore, that's one of the FIRST things I disable on any new PC. ;>
    In general, I'd rather find the problem and fix/remove it than blindly restore back (which causes its own problems)!

    Thanks for trying to help, Unch!

    I wonder what would happen if I just removed ALL of the Windows updates and then tried. ha.

    or in your case it could be the lack of updates of which is needed to fix some issues in programs, (Example would be framework .net and such)

    Dude...update your OS; as a software engineer in general the people who don't update their machines are the ones who have the most obscure errors.

    Dude... we're talking Windows 7 here. Not Windows 98.

    Anyway, WarBeast, I forgot to mention that when I uninstalled/reinstalled (about 3 times, ha), I thought of that too and reinstalled from the official link on the FF14 website, not the beta phase 4 client which was originally installed.

    Seriously thinking about uninstalling/reinstalling Windows itself. ha.

    Windows 7 is good but it still needs updates; especially libraries that interface with hardware (.NET, System Stability updates, etc.) it will usually pull those down from there. You loose nothing by updating so just do it.

    Anyhow that exception is typically caused by accessing hardware (Access Violation on Memory) and based by your description it sounds like it's failing to build up the Video Device.

    Download the latest DX9 Redist http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=34429 and grab the latest stable drivers from AMD and hopefully that resolves your issue.
