My Win7 FFXI machine has been running fine for yeeears, and I went and broke it (it seems!) by installing FF14 on it. 14 didnt run smoothly so I immediately uninstalled, but ever since then Windower 4 launcher crashes immediately on startup with the "Windower Launcher has stopped working" message.
FFXI still runs fine if I run it vanilla. I did all the plugin disabling in the Windower configs etc but as far as I can see it's not even getting that far to affect things. I tried the specific Win7/Vista POL, but pretty sure I already had the compatible one from the Ultimate edition.
I figured it was some corruption in the registry, maybe it couldn't find FFXI so today I un-installed everything and re-installed clean using the Adoulin Ultimate installer, with windower afterward.. and still no joy :(
There's not much diagnostics in the window to help unfortunately. Before I do the rebuild thing, does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Hopefully it's something simple that just got messed up. Thanks!
