Thanks for the suggestion Mcoy,

I deleted the eqgame.ini file and the problem remained the same.

When I deleted the ui.ini file the login screen was black (assuming the game didn't auto create one?).

Some things you can try are to run the game in admin mode, go in to your EQClient.ini and change fullscreen option to False * [Defaults] WindowedMode=FALSE *, or to try running the game in compatibility modes to see 8f you can find one that works better.

Thanks Anthony

Tried altering the .ini with both TRUE and FALSE for windowed mode.

Set various compatibility modes including using the "trouble shooter" which suggest Windows XP SP3.

Still the same error.

Have you done a fresh install from scratch yet tho

I have not tried a fresh install.

I no longer have access to my installer.
