So far about two or three weeks now I've been having non-stop Pol.exe errors resulting in ffxi closing down on me at least 6 times an hour. I and the people I have to party/run events with are sick about it I'm sure.

I have tried to reinstall the game, my graphics card, and motherboard to no avail.

Im using

Windows 2000
Nvidia Nforce2 motherboard
Nvidia geforce2 mx/mx400 graphics card
and 3/4ths a gig of memory

I go to the event viewer

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: WinMgmt

Those events im getting, I don't really know what they are so help is appreciated :D
 
My game DCs me every 10mins-few hours, but I don't know if its because of the same error that you are getting. It started happening out of no where, at first I'd R0 till I DCed completely and gave me something about the game timing out. And this would happen every 5-10 mins for about 2-3 hours. It only happened Friday nights between 9-12ish so I'd just log out and do something else. I tried reinstalling my game but didn't help. I sitll have no idea why this happened.

Then my dad changed our internet from cable to I think DSL(?). Instead, now it can DC anytime of the day! but if found that if I closed the game, it would usually bring me to the screen to click play or the char selection screen so I'd get back in pretty fast. But if my laptop also loses internet, I'd have to restart the game. So one factor i can think of is your internet, have u changed the internet you're using?
 
well its not so much DC its more the game crashes. I get a message saying Pol.exe has generated an error please restart the program then it closes itself out. Without windower the game just closes itself out sometimes (as much as it does on windower) :\
 
I've been getting that too for the last few weeks. Its totally random. Sometimes I can play for a few hours w/ no problem, and sometimes it crashes every fifteen minutes.

I can't figure out what's wrong either, but it sucks.
 
Only third party program is windower. My hax0rz don't even work at the moment haven't had the required info since January. But yeah I know the feeling about crashing every 15 minutes I get it real bad and crash about 3 times every 15-10 min.

Luckily, some parties don't mind since I log back on in about 45 seconds but sometimes it's just to risky :\

Click to expand...

how old is your install of windows?
 
I had to reinstall about 2 months ago because system just randomly failed. I installed a new win2k and just got the old files moved to the new system folders. I got all win2k updates up to date sp4.

The disc itself I can't recall how old that is.

I was trying to find something on goolgle and it might have to do with the winmgmt process but not really sure.
 
Speaking of windower, I don't mean to sidetrack your thread, but is there a way to make windower 3.3 full screen (not windowed), and still be able to alt-tab? I can do it on 3.26 but it doesn't work to full screen when I set it to my PC's resolution. It just gives me a distorted, and small, windowed version. :/
 
no i was using a version before windower 3.3 (I didn't know there was an update) updated to 3.3 and it still has same failure.

When I run without windower the game doesn't even give me an error it just shuts itself off.
