I have reinstalled FFXIV 3 times and all 3 times reinstalled Windows 7...

I update FFXIV just fine via the launcher. But when I click the play button I immediately get this message:

ffxiv.exe - Bad Image

c:/Windows\system32\XINPUT1_3.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.


I tried installing latest versions of DX, nothing worked...
I have all the latest drivers for all peripherals....
I am running Win7 64bit Home Premium...I never had this problem before I did I clean install of my system. Any help is appreciated as I have exhausted all options.
