FFXI wont load

Hmmm the playonline program dont even load up or ffxi for that matter. It
saids "playoline has stopped working" when i click on it. It installed
correctly and i tried running as admin and still does it. I just got a new
comp with vista installed, Even made it as an exception for it to run through
firewall since its a game u play over internet and that didnt even work. Is
there anything else i can do?

oops forgot to put the report in too. Here it is.

Go to PlayOnluine's site, select Platform->Windows and there will be a
button for Vista machines. Click this and download the 50-55MB file to
install the vista version of PlayOnline. You need to uninstall the older POL
viewer before you install this. It allows FFXI to work!
