Solution to crashing when zoning / camping

[tactix]

There could be a thread for this already but I have not seen any recent ones. I was having an issue on my laptop (running windows 8), I had slow zone times and would crash during some of them. This was not happening on my desktop computer that was running windows vista 64 bit so I figured it had something to do with windows 8. Also anytime I would camp on one toon to switch to another I would crash. This is what fixed the problem for me and hopefully fix it for anyone else experiencing this problem.

1st be using latest version of wineq
2nd make the wineq default eq1 shortcut and have the icon on your desktop
3rd right click on that icon then click "troubleshoot"
4th accept the option they provide of running it in windows xp service pack 3 mode.

This corrected all the issues I was having and I haven't crashed once since I did this 3 days ago. Also, my zone times are much faster.
