For the SG issue that sounds like your resolution isn't quite right so you're "clicking through" to your desktop behind. Remember, EQ is a 4:3 game - don't try and push it to other ratios.

As far as the eqclient.ini - if you have it installed in a protected location (such as program files) and don't run p99 as an admin, it won't be able to write changes (such as to your eqclient.ini file) so they'll instead be redirected into your user's virtual directory under c:\users\yournamehere\appdata.

Additionally, some changes are only "saved" (written) when the client closes correctly. If you crash on every camp attempt it will never record some settings and you have to change them every time.

Interesting. Thank you. I didn't consider things like these you mention.

The install before this latest was into the default directory. I wanted to see if there would be any difference. It did crash about 25% less. Coincidence? Probably. The previous half dozen uninstalls/reinstalls were to C:\Everquest directly, rather than the default (path)\x86\program files

Until I get to the point of strategic retreat, I will continue to do things and see what happens.
