I've read several posts regarding problems w/ the script bar after FFXI starts. I, however, have not been able to find a successful fix. I have tried using windowed/non-windowed with both normal and alternate hooking. I have even attempted to use Azril's new windower with both normal and alternate hooking, but no luck. Here is my log:

(!empty($user->lang['CODE'])) ? $user->lang['CODE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'CODE'))):

Can someone please take a look at this and tell me what my issue might be? Xunleashed was working flawlessly 3 weeks ago before I went on vacation... but no luck now.

I had the same problem yesterday.

What i did was made a backup of my Scripts folder and reinstalled FFXiService.xui and FFXIUnleashed.xui that worked for me. :lol:

I deleted Xunleashed and reinstalled it. I am still having the same issue. If someone can provide a fix, I would be very greatful. When I first arrived home from vacation, Xunleashed worked once, maybe twice.

what i did excactly was reinsttalled the 2 files i told you, restarted my comp and fired up XUnleashed.

Turn off script blocking on ur virus scanner too see of that has something to do with it.

If that dont work,then im sorry i dont know whats wrong :cry:

Rather than reinstall those two files specifically, I opted to reinstalled Xunleashed completely. I don't have any software running that will block scripts. I don't know what would be causing this.
