Howdy all. First of all, LOVE the work you do on this project and love the game. Need some help if you could.

Running a Dell PC, Windows Vista Ultimate, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU @ 3Ghz, 8G RAM, NVidia GeForce 8800 CTX. Also have appearance and customization set to "Windows Standard" w/ resolution @ 1920 x 1200 32 Bit. Monitor is a Dell 2407 Wide screen one. [You must be logged in to view images.

I have installed game and it runs great in windowed mode as long as I stay in the game. When ever I click "outside of game window" to research EQWiki or look something up on map, it freezes to the point I have to reset my PC. I cannot even alt-tab, ctrl alt delete to task manager, etc...it totally freezes.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to resolve this, or if you need any other data/info from me to help you. I have been living w/ this and happy, but am to the point where I am wondering if there is anything known I can do to fix. would love to play and research at the same time.

Google WinEQ2 and download it, should solve your issues. You could also check eqclient.ini and make sure your windowed settings aren't invalid for your setup...

Thanks for reply. Here is what I have done so far. Un-installed, then re-installed from scratch.

Also already ran WinEQ2 as well and that hasn't helped either.

So now I'm going to go into eqclient.ini and see whats what. Can you please elaborate on what you mean, "windowed settings aren't invalid for setup"?

Thanks again!
