Hey all, I wrote this quick program to fix this problem with the windower until the update. You can download it here http://www.mundenisgod.com/QuickFix.zip
1. Run the QuickFix.exe
2. Launch the Launcher.exe program like you always have to run to run the game.
3. To minimize Hit ALT+TAB to make the taskbar apear THEN press CTRL and M to minimize.
4. To Restore press CTRL and N
I wrote this with AutoIt V3.1.1.0 and did not password the code so feel free to decompile it. You can get AutoIt free at http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

Maybe you missed the last line I wrote,
"I wrote this with AutoIt V3.1.1.0 and did not password the code so feel free to decompile it. You can get AutoIt free at http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ "
If you don't trust the code DECOMPILE it.

or check the forums on ffxi dot archbell dot com, and you have your fixes. i ran a scan on the files that I downloaded, and they were clean.
Munden, I don't think it is people don't trust you, as the source you posted here is valid, but more of a precaution...too many people have put in too many hours into this game and do NOT want to take risks (including myself heh). Thank you for taking the time to write this for us, and I am sure it will work for those who use it ^^

Hmm, according to another place where this 'fix' was posted...a user did a scan to the following results...
QuickFix.zip
Status: MIGHT BE INFECTED/MALWARE (Sandbox emulation took a long time and/or runtime packers were found, this is suspicious. Normally programs aren't packed and don't force the sandbox into lengthy emulation. Do realize no scanner issued any warning, the file can very well be harmless. Caution is advised, however.)
MD5 4515e7257e6bc644b9c2709cfd3ae552
Packers detected: UPX
Scanner results
AntiVir Found nothing
ArcaVir Found nothing
Avast Found nothing
AVG Antivirus Found nothing
BitDefender Found nothing
ClamAV Found nothing
Dr.Web Found nothing
F-Prot Antivirus Found nothing
Fortinet Found nothing
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Found nothing
NOD32 Found nothing
Norman Virus Control Found nothing
UNA Found nothing
VBA32 Found nothing
just FYI

Detan in that same place read the next post down.
"Yeah it always says that when a binary packer is used, though I believe it can un-pack it before it scans it.
Neat solution, in any case.

The only downside with coding in AutoIt is that it gets detected as malware becase the anti-virus coders are lazy and just rope all AutoIt Programs in the possible malware section because a few ******** wrote virus-like code in AutoIt before.
What do you want from me, I posted the source code, where to compile or decompile. It works untill the next update is out.

brilliant, i didnt know autoit can move ffxi windows !
by the way folks source code is clean, it basically just.. move the window around , thus the fact that its always on top doesnt matter..
i cant say much about the exe files, if you dont trust it, compile your own stuff,
i'll rate ya up if it works.... compiling it now..

It was posted at Archbell too, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Maybe I'm running it wrong...it doesn't minimize or anything...just sortof sits there.
well i can tell ya that it wont work if mask is minimized (my own work around)... trying other options now
Munden, my apologies. Thanks again for putting effort into helping such a wonderful (and should be made be SE ><) program work for us again. Sorry again for the misunderstanding. m(__)m
Why does it come as .exe not .au3?
Do you not need autoit to run the program?

If you have AutoIt you can decompile the exe into an au3 if you want, but no, that is the reason why AutoIt is so great. You don't even need any extra files other than the exe, even if you don't have autoit.
hmmm.. just a quick question, how exactly does this work on the screen..
Like with my current windower (think it might be yours XD) has it like this.
It's not a full screen, where I can alt tab, but it's in an actuall window of its own. It takes up about 90% from the top to bottom, and 85% from left to right :x

I have FFXI installed on two PCs in my home. So after I noticed that Windower wasn't working after the update, I recalled that there were 3 files (besides patch.ver) that were downloaded by this update. They turned out to be FFXI.dll, FFXImain.dll, and file.txt. After backing up the newer files post-update, I copied over the old FFXI.dll and FFXImain.dll from my PC that hadn't been updated yet. Just those 2 files.
I ran FFXI in Windower happily for the whole day today. :D

Only ones you need to change back are FFXI.dll and FFXImain.dll btw
I did that too, but only as a temp fix till I get an actuall working windower >.>;
