[murcielago200]

I upgraded my computer to windows 10 and now EQ crashes every time I try and log in. I get this error -

How do I fix this?

I get the same message, had it with windows 8 also. I just learned to deal with it.

My win 7 laptop doesn't have this problem though =x

This only happens when I log off/camp to switch, sorry. Not on log in.

Run eqgame.exe in admin windows xp sp2.

Can you tell us how to do this? I just upgraded to Windows 10 and it crashes EVERY time I camp one of my characters.

Thanks!

Right-click on the icon you use to launch EQ and go to Properties. Go to compatibility tab, tick the box 'Run this program in compatiblity mode for:' and then select 'Windows XP service pack 2' from the drop down menu.

Further down the compatibility tab under 'Privilage Level' tick the box to 'Run this program as Administrator'

Click Apply at the bottom.

Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!

I count my blessings I never upgraded to Windows 8,9,10.

7 is so much cleaner and matches your IQ. The GUI of 8+ was an attempt to compete with Mac and reach similarity with Apple. Gross.
