Help Please

[tjgotsmj]

Ok, ive been searching forums for days and tried everything.....

Im on a: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.30 GHz
Nvidia Gefore 8100 / nForce 720a
4GB Ram
Running: Vista 64-bit

Problem: From Server select screen, i click play everquest, than the screen goes black for 20-30 seconds (sometimes it minimizes) and pops back up, and im back at login screen. does same thing with all the servers.

Tried: Ive updated all my drivers, tried it in all resolutions, tried all the compatibility tab ones, turned off all models and setting down, taken screen outta widescreen mode, restarting modem, updated windows, setting computer to run on one core instead of dual, used WinEQ and other window mode programs, it does the samething no matter what i do.

Also: Im on Satilite internet and was told maybe server blocking me cause it uses Proxy.

If anyone has an idea please help me. Id really like to start playing with my friends.

[Excision Rottun]

Have you tried to run EQ as administrator?

[tjgotsmj]

yes, most of the time i tried it as admin, i tried it without it too.

[ryuut1]

you owe me money whered you get the new comp

[ryuut1]

seriously wheres my money i got mouths to feed after paying your bill

[Zephys]

Haha, internet bill-collectors?

[tjgotsmj]

Bob was suppose to give you that money man, since i paid for his fantasy football. So go talk to him. =O

[ryuut1]

yah that's not how it works. send me the check so i can feed my family ok?

[mixxit]

sounds like a connectivity issue - are you being traffic shaped? perhaps you could try connecting via vpn (say itshidden.com or something like that?)

[BigFella]

How did you set CPU affinity (to fix the dual-core issues)? Do you receive any error messages? What messages? Most of the issues have been solved in the forums so don't be afraid to read through the posts. I can attest to this because I helped get the game running on three of my friends computers and found each solution, eventually, in the forums. :)
Post an update and we will figure this out.

[tjgotsmj]

no error messages, and i tried connecting over at aunt's house who is on cable, and it does same exact thing.

me and friend came to conclusion we think its either video card or my monitor.

but if anyone has any other ideas plz let me kno.
