Set compatibility mode on eqgame.exe to XP SP2 (or 3).

I've just grown to live with it, but this good if it works for me. It really only makes a difference when I ground drop stuff to pass to an alt...which, I'm horribly addicted to. I love the rush of dropping an item on the ground and hoping it will pass over...such a weird addiction, but I'm prob not the only one.

You're definitely not ;) Although personally I think it's more a product of my laziness in not wanting to find someone to ask for transfer help, and less about the "rush" of successfully ground transferring.

After 10 years of p99 I get my EQ "RUSH" anyway I can find it...

This happens to me occasionally, even though I have the compatibility set as above. I think it now happens less frequently when I use WinEQ, but I am not sure. It usually only happens to me at character login, and I always thought it's a consequence of playing a 20 year old game emulation.
