Window Mode problem

I have all the correct options checked but yet everytime I try to alt tab it crashes... Window mode will work(lets me alt tab to a certain degree but half the screen is missing and I cant select scripts), Dialog mode will work and lets me select scripts but wont let me bring another window to the front, FFXI is always the main window. The problem is I can't get them to work together so that I can have FFXI in full screen mode and alt tab(borderless window style like azareis or whatever his name is windower). I was wanting to help out with making the maps for the windoer ect, but I need to be able to run it in a borderless window(if thats possible?)

Any advice would be grateful, I did search on this and removed and checked the settings that were suggested, still no luck.

Make sure you have windowed AND dialog checked.

Uncheck the tcpip packet sniffer, also remove the RegHandler plugin if it is there.

Do not use hook dx7, and do not use anti-detection.

Same problem here. In fact, it's been there for months. No idea why it takes so long to fix the problem!

I'm sure it makes it difficult to develop a fix for something they are not experiencing. My guess would be something regarding the video card. What kind of video card do you have? Have you checked the manufacturers website for new drivers? Are you running DirectX 9.0c?

i had this same issue to and its not Graphics card related because i still have the same graphics card

its windows related because the only thing i change was the fact that i needed to format my computer cause of a raid crash...next thing i know it was working...format windows and re-install from a black drive that might fix it it did mine...

Ok, here is my problem. I cannot get the windowed mode to draw with borders so that I can move it around.

With or without checking Dialog. I've updated all drivers, directx, windows updates(XP home), etc to latest. Hardware cursor is enabled. All Plugins enabled. I've tried about every combination of the Optional Settings also, and the windowed mode always loads with NO border.

Also I noticed have no access to the ctrl-ins functions in game either.

Here is the Log with only Window+Dialog checked:

Its been quite some time now... Will this be ever fixed? This was the main reason I got X. I really would like to drag my window around again.

It will not be for a while probably. Since windowed mode is working, the ability to move it is not high priority atm.
