Ok, ty, btw it worked. In case this ever comes up again, just tell them to 'Re- Install'. I have another question, I'm not sure if I should post it here or where everyone can see it. So, I'll do both, sorry if it seems spammy, lol....
I live in Ohio USA, and my friend lives in Florida USA(not sure if that makes a difference), and we both have PS2 versions of FFXI(sorry for not clarifing that on my first post...

..) We play but are not connected to the same server or something.

Is there any way to change that, someone online said something about a world map, which involved, buying a world map, getting a password from it, and ahving my friend start a NEW character with the password I give him from the world map, lol, sounds strange eh? Any ideas?
