Is the lobby server down?

Your issue is completely different from the one I posted about in the OP, but I did some digging for your specific issue anyway.

I assume you've tried running it as Administrator? I don't really know how to help with your issue.

Raldo,

Yes, it is a different issue, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread. So I figured I'D jump on and add on to this, make sure that I wasn't missing a mait issue that I didn't see a post for. Yes I have tried running as the Admin. Still got me nothing. Though I did find an article last night back from..2010? 2011? Beta time, sorry I've only been playing this game a week, and people had an issue and this is how it was resolved:

With the error 11023, there's something wrong with the "My Documents \ Games " folder and the S.E folder in the Programs. I couldn't really understand the exact issue, but the main jist of it was you had to create a new account with Admin rights, this somehow made a new "My Documents \ Games" folder for that new user placing it where the ffxivupdate could read it. I finally got on last night around 3 a.m. and updated everything, thanks to a guide about quick torrent download vs the updater, since I did a complete re-install. So that's how I solved it.

Problem is, I do not know what I solved..I'm blinded by the whole thing, that simply creating a new account put a folder..where it should be to be able to read. Odd part is that this computer is only a week old, I got it and the game the same day, digital download since the only store that had the CD was an hour away. Anyways, point being is that I couldn't of moved anything around so I got no real way of saying what I fixed except that I fixed it..and that kinda bugs me.

Thank you for replying and helping me out. Still, knowing that the Run As.. option is sometimes a problem solver for these issues I'll keep in mind for future problems. Again thank you and now I'm off to work up classes!
