<_< God I hope I don't run into the same problem..

I know SE isn't exactly 64-bit friendly.

Try setting compatibility to like XP SP3?

I installed the EU ISO to my Windows 7 64-bit laptop this morning without a problem.

Is your OS fully updated? framework and everything?

Make sure you're running as administrator.

Well I wont be able to test out my NA disc until the stupid UPS guy finally delivers it.

My desktops are both running 64-bit Windows 7 so I'll let you know how it goes.

I had the same problem with the beta on windows 7 64 bit.

I have 4 displays on my home computer and it was tring to send it to a display on older video card.

Also if you are using a PS3 controller using motionjoy as the driver ffxiv will not work in windows 7 test mode.

Oh I see. I wouldn't be there yet. My download speed on the update is being awfully jumpy, though. That disappoints me.

Check your video card drivers. Also, might want to lower your settings in the config file until you are able to get into the game.

You said you played the beta fine. Would you mind posting your specs?

Hmmm... I don't have my code so I can't login with my computer yet so I have no idea if I'll get the same error.

I meant the specs of your machine.

Though with that error I'm kind of at a loss until I can try to replicate it.

I'd look in the disks and manually check for a 64-bit installation.

Bout the best I can come up with currently.

Nice computer. That's all I wanted to know. I'll step back until I'm actually able to sign in.

i just saw the back of the box, says... 64bit OS will run in WOW64 (windows on Windows64) mode... i have no idea what the hell that is, but it might be why it's not running

Patch really shouldn't matter, but if that's the problem then I should get the same error you do later.

WOW64 is the x86 emulator that allows 32-bit Windows-based applications to run seamlessly on 64-bit Windows. WOW64 is provided with the operating system and does not have to be explicitly enabled

It should do it by default, but maybe there's a glitch somewhere. I'm researching WoW64 right now.

Change the security on
c:\program files(x86)\Squareenix to everyone full control. If it's patch issue. run as admin sometime is stupid.

I personally install all games under
c:\user\public\
So the updaters don't *** with permissions.
