As the subject states I am having an odd issue with running the game via Windower using the Borederless Window setting on both of my monitors. Ever since I had to do a restart on my laptop, the PlayOnline window is slightly smaller than was before and my resolution for my game is also smaller despite having it set to 1920 x 1080 in Windower and XI Config. I went through everything I could possibly find online, went through compatibility mode and checked on High DPI scaling override on pol.exe, polboot.exe, and the windower launcher .exe and the mix of them, did a fresh reinstall of both XI and Windower, twice and restarted after each uninstall and reinstall, no matter what I keep getting the same results for it. Launched it through PlayOnline normally and it works perfectly fine but through Windower it just gets screwed and looks like this: https://imgur.com/5TceUVQ on both the laptop monitor and the monitor I wish to have it displayed on proper. I never had an issue with this resolution before and I made no changes to any of my settings prior to the restart. I am at my wits end and cannot figure out what could possible be wrong seeing as nothing was changed prior to the reset and there wasn't a windows update either. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Sounds like a Windows issue. Go to your desktop screen and right-click to Display settings. Change the scale to 100% It's only for FFXI though. Most modern games have no problem with the scale.

My laptop monitor has it scaled to 150%, while the monitor I want it displayed on is set to 100%. Even if I move it to the Monitor that is 100% the window stays the same as shown in the screenshot.
Is there a way to make it so XI just launches naturally on my other Monitor and hopefully resolve this issue?

Hmm, I use Ashita and dgvoodoo. I have my both desktop and game's window resolution sizes to 1920x1080. Have you tried dgvoodoo and changed its DirectX tab settings?

I could give this a try tomorrow, but for now I did find a weird work around. I just made my secondary monitor the "Main" Monitor and it works perfectly fine now. I appreciate the help nonetheless.

Anytime! I do think that every FFXI player should have dgvoodoo installed along with FFXI in order to solve many issues of the old DirectX 8 calls that have been misinterpreted to DirectX 9 or so.
