Screensaver Freezes EQ

[loramin]

Whenever I am logged in to EQ (this doesn't happen at the login screen) and the screensaver comes on it *mostly* freezes my EverQuest. Some small piece still works because if I mouseover something that changes the cursor I see the cursor change. However typing, clicking, or doing anything else doesn't seem to affect it, and I always have to restart after.

Has anyone else seen this, and if so did you find a fix?

Disable screensaver? It's a pointless dinosaur in the LCD Age, anyway.

Or are you talking about Sleep Mode?

[loramin]

Both do it actually :(

this was the case for me on windows 8

resolved itself when I went back to windows 7

Ugh. Thanks for the info, but I'd rather not have to re-install my entire OS just to fix this. Any other Windows 8 users find a solution that doesn't involve re-installing?
