FFXI + Vista quick question

[ChiBChombo]

I installed FFXI on my vista 64 Ultimate computer, and yes, I downloaded the Vista compatible POL etc.

POL opens fine, no problem, however when I try to open Final Fantasy XI Config, it errors and crashes.

I tried going to Registry to do the "tweak" and fix my graphics there instead, but turns out when I go to the part where all stuff sohuld be, there is nothing. So what I'm asking is, do I NEED to first log in the game, to the point I can play, then log off, for my registry to update and show everything?

Or is this an error?
