FFXI Playonline ProblemsFollow

Hello, I need a little help here.

Today I started up my computer and decided I wanted to play a little XI. However, when I started up playonline it just sat there. The window went black. I could hear the Playonline music but I got no picture.

When I tried to close it the window would proceed to close but then my computer would freeze up and not respond. This happens everytime I try to start Playonline. It's preventing me from playing XI.

The game was working just yesterday too. I have not changed anything in the least.

My specs are:

AMD Athlon XP 2500 Barton
Geforce 6600GT with the latest drivers
Creative X-FI Platinum with the latest drivers
Windows XP SP2
Latest DirectX
