Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Somewhere there is a list of compatible graphic cards, I think I saw it on playonline

yeppers FFXI only supports the following Graphics Cards see below. I had to go buy a new one when I got the game ><. Then of course trade up after that lol.

Also try running:
