41 times out of 42 the problem is you don't meet the requirements for FFXIV. Mainly the video card. You could have seen the other 20 threads on the subject before posting.

That being said... The ATI 3200, I think, is a notebook card, and an old one at that. It does not work with FFXIV.

Need to point something out for latpop users in general.

In general, laptop cards are weaker by design then their PC counterparts out of necessity (heat/voltage requirements). Because of this, sometimes the model number assigned to a laptop's video setup is not in line with what would be assigned to a drop-in PC card. In other words, you can't go only buy the numbers assigned to them when looking at the minimum requirements--those recomendations are for a PC add-in card, not a laptop/motherboard integrated graphics solution. The laptop models often have something in their name that flags them as a mobile solution (ends with the letter m, or will say Mobility or Mobile) for a reason--one is a Mobile solution, the other is a standalone PC card that you install in an expansion slot. Another red flag is when the laptop has a number that doesn't align directly with a drop in PC card's number (ie, there is no ATI 3200 add-in card, it is a motherboard integrated only solution). In short, you need to research what family that laptop's video card is built off of, and then compare that to the game's requirements.

That being said, that 3200's GPU is actually built off of the 2400 series core, and thus does not meet the minimum requirements:

Another example is the ATI 4200 that is in a lot of the current budget laptops out there--it is actually built off the ATI 3400 GPU core.
