I just got back into FFXI with my roomate a few days ago, I have a new XPS system through Dell with a 8800 geforce card. I have no problems running the game at any reseloution or anything, the game play graphics are great, just 1 problem. When i press the "-" key to bring up the menu, all the buttons are white and blurry, i cant read what they say, thats the only problem I have, and im getting really annoyed, my roomate has a ****** comp compared to me and has no problems with the game just me.
Anyone have any ideas? I have been tring to figure it out for days and im about to give up, no idea what im not doing.
My graphics card is updated and everything, I have no problem playing Wow, Hellgate London or anything else and FFXI runs beautifully on my PC, just this 1 graphic problem, and Im not sure what to do. please help lol

The Nvidia GEforce 8x series has been known to cause problems while running FFXI.
Apparently, there is a topic on the General Forums about a new driver from NVidia.
Nvidia's driver support for their 8series cards and Final Fantasy for better words bites ***.
You are better off going to 3dguru and using 3rd party drivers as they are actually performing better on Final Fantasy with 8 series cards.
Somewhat funny how a card company who sponsors a game uses drivers that ***** it up so bad.

This will make the game much more enjoyable for me now that i can read the damn buttons lol.
If anyone else is having the same problem the link to the Nvidia page for the 169.21 driver is here -->http://www.nvidia.com/Download/betadrivers.aspx?lang=en-us
Just input the type of card you have and it will bring the driver up for you ^_^
